Ashby Grace Zubchevich celebrated turning three Ariel-style, with a Little Mermaid-themed birthday bash held over the weekend at Nancy O’Dell and Keith Zubchevich‘s California home.

“Ashby is obsessed with Ariel! I like her being a bit of a tomboy, but she is totally into all the Disney princesses,” O’Dell tells PEOPLE Moms & Babies.

“She loves Ariel — I think it may be because Ashby loves to swim so much herself.”
