Yesterday was Ireland's 6 year old birthday party! It was so much fun! It was a whale themed party... very interesting, let me tell you what!
She invited 8 kids from the neighborhood and her class... and all but 1 came! So needless to say we had a full house yesterday! Here are a few pictures to take you through the day!

It was a little hard to find whale party decorations and what not. So we kind of went in the way of sea-life. So the cupcakes had little gold fish on them. I think they turned out pretty cute!
Ireland drew a lot of whale pictures to hang up. She also decided she wanted to bring all her whale and dolphin toys from her room to decorate the table. It turned out to be a nice touch!
When the kids started to arrive I had whale and dolphin coloring sheets for them to color. We had a fun whale craft to do but wanted to wait to start until everyone was there. So the coloring sheets were a good way to keep the kids occupied while we waited. The girls really liked it... the boys, not so much! :)
After everyone got there we started on the paper bag whale. I found the idea online and it was super easy! You just start with a white lunch size paper bag. Color or paint it however you want your whale to look. After it's colored you stuff it with strips on newspaper, leaving enough room on the end for the tail. Then you decorate it with fun eyes and fins. I added some pipe cleaners in sliver for the water spout.
This is Ireland's finished whale (I meant to get a picture of all the kids whales, but time got away from me and I forgot)!
The pink and purple on is Chloe's whale. Pretty fun!
After whales we did presents! Ireland got a friendship rose from one of the little boys! Her first flower!
She loved all her gifts and loved opening them all!
Then it was on to cupcakes! Ireland just loved being the center of attention, so she loved everyone singing to her!
When everyone was done eating we played some games. We played freeze dance, dolphin dolphin whale (like duck duck goose), and Whale says (like Simon says). The kids thought all the games were really fun!

So super cute! Love it! Looks like everyone had fun and I'm sure even the boys had fun they just don't show it as much! Wish we could have been there to celebrate with her! She looks so darn big in these pictures! Miss those girls faces! :)
The party looks like it was so much fum. I like that she had boys and girls. She looks so cute in the pic. What a great idea she had about a Wale Party. All of the pic are so darn good. Good job Kimmi and Chris.
Your whale craft is so cute!! The friendship flower is so sweet. She looks like she had a blast.

Best party EVER! Good job, you! It looks like a blast and clearly everyone had tons of fun! :o) Happy Birthday, Ireland... can't believe you're 6 (on Wed!) :o) Love you all!!!
It looks like she had a wonderful time, must have been alot of work, but you did a good job, very cute.
I was slightly doubtful that kids, other than Chloe and Ireland, would enjoy a whale birthday party, but it was super cute. You are so creative. Curious to see what future birthday party themes will be. With Ireland, we won't be able to guess. Good job. Can't believe she's 6, weird!!!
