MERMAID PARTY! Ruth is 7! Molly is 4!

Will had a friend party in February for his birthday--our very first one. So the girls got a combined friend/cousin party for their birthdays this year too! Ruth's biggest request was a pinata--and both the girls were very happy with a mermaid party.

Grandma Rasmussen delivered with the most awesome mermaid cake ever!!!

We are so lucky that so many cousins were willing to drive to come to the party! And my friend Chantelle and her girls came which was just the best--so many little girls! Oskar, Harriet, Will, Devaney, Molly, Clover, Anabel, Ruth, Chezney, Olivia, Phoebe, Daphne

The girls were so thrilled and excited the ENTIRE time it was just magical. Worth everything. They played in the splash pad and on the playground, but mostly just make believe with the other girls. We ate and had cake and pinata candy. Pretty much a perfect birthday party, right?

Ruthie, Olivia, Phoebe, Daphne

Pinata time!

All the little girls got crowns and mermaid necklaces. So cute.

Aunt Kami wins best gift ever--little mermaids that are SCHLEICH! (My family is obsessed with that brand, those toys are indestructible and so cool!)

Wonder woman!!! Her favorite!

She has been wanting and wanting this light up barbie. It was SO fun to see her excitement when she opened this one!

Ruth has wanted one of these for three years now. It's a little harder to swim with than I think she anticipated, but she is still loving it!!

Cute Russ and Journ.

Kourtney and Megan being awesome and helping me take down the pinata string!

They just had so much fun! I hope they remember it forever! So many people love them and want to celebrate them and it makes my mama heart so tender! How are my kids growing and growing so much!?!? I love my girls SOOOOOOO much!!!! Their smiles and happiness was just so much fun.
