party time!

Jane and Malcolm had an Under the Sea party! We agreed that a clownfish cake would be cool.

Also a shark fruit salad!

I had intended it to be outdoors, but since it was cold and rainy we had it inside. It was pretty crowded with 17 kids and various adults! We rearranged the living room so they had more space.

Daddy made octopus hot dogs. Colin doesn't normally like hot dogs but he ate his!

Malcolm got to sit next to Meredith, who he calls his best friend!

The kids all had fun hitting the piƱata.

Everyone got a turn before Duncan knocked it down!

There was quite a mob scene to collect the contents: swedish fish, life savers and goldfish.

What a great idea for a party! I would love to see a picture of the octopus hotdogs!

I think it's great that you can combine two birthday parties into one. Our friends whose kids are 2 years apart do the same. Happy birthday to Jane and Malcolm.
