Molly's birthday party

(Don't mind that this post is about 3 weeks past the actual event it is describing.....)

Molly wanted a beach theme for her birthday party this year. It was really her second choice as she wanted to go and play miniature golf outside. Ummm, we live in NY and that isn't an option in December, so we instead convinced her that this was a better idea. Lots of her Monkey friends from preschool came, a couple friends from her kindergarten, and another friend she's known since she was little. Everyone wore a swimsuit, we cranked up the heat, and the kids had leis and beach balls to bounce around while also playing with the electric train and other goodies. Cake and presents topped off a really fun afternoon for Molly, my now 6 year old!!

Beach table all set, really hard to find those little drink umbrellas when it isn't summertime!
Molly with her swimsuit, lei, and hula skirt. The skirt lasted about 10 minutes.....
The beach cake, complete with water, sand, a fire pit, beach umbrella and lots of sea life!
