Lily wanted a penguin party...but mermaids were allowed to come too!
A few of her presents...
A few of her presents...
Lily had already made bracelets to go in the party bags for her friends to take home...now she's completely restocked to make more jewellery!
And a bit of help starting the opening of each present... 
The cake - "had to have the blue jelly water so the mermaid didn't get cold 'cos mermaids don't like just ice and then it needs a sun to make the ice melt into the water" - bit of a penguin expert here!
(If you can't read it, it says "Lily is un-four-gettable")
Lily blew out the candles one at a time to drag things out as long as possible! 
Party games - pass the parcel...
Chuck the water balloons in the buckets...
And heaps of water! It was hot today (not 39 like yesterday thank goodness) but windy, the wind died down for a few hours JUST for Lily's party! Made a great start to using the new deck!
And she's already started planning how she wants to cover her school books next year! (We've been doing Lachie's)
