Our sweet Addison turns two on October 20th. We celebrated with a Carnival Birthday Party this past weekend. I have lots of pictures to share and to document for her!
Let's start with the invitation...
Now, onto the party pictures...
Here are some pictures of the front entrance to our home and the foyer.
Here is a close up of the favor boxes and also a shot of the goodies that were inside the favor boxes. (I ordered these from Oriental Trading.)
And here are some pictures of the food tables. We set up the dining room table with the lunch foods - hotdogs, chips, and animal cookies. We set up the kitchen table with dessert foods, which I called the "Sweets 'N Treats" table. The Sweets 'N Treats consisted of Cupcakes (and ice cream in individual cups to go with the cupcake cake that was in the shape of a clown), Ice Cream cones filled with cotton candy, a candy ferris wheel that I found at Hobby Lobby. The popcorn bags I picked up at the Dollar Tree. The plates and napkins also came from Oriental Trading as well.
It was raining the morning of Addison's party, so we had to change our plans of having the party outdoors. We moved the party indoors and set up our bonus room (that is normally our play room) into a "carnvial"! Here are some pictures of the different booths that we set up. My Mom and I made the signs for the booths. I made the pennant banner out of scrapbook paper. I borrowed some of the rides from friends and family members and I bought the ring toss game at Party City. I picked up the face paints at our local Wal-mart store.
The prizes...
Let the party begin! Here is a photo of the guests beginning to arrive...
Before we let the children go upstairs, I gave out tickets for them to turn in to go to the different booths. Here they are at the bottom of the stairs and going up the stairs to the carnival!
And here are pictures of the children at the different booths...everyone had lots of fun at the carnival!
The circus elephant pinata...
The cake...Addison wasn't too sure about blowing out the candles so Mommy and Weston decided to help her!
Time for presents!
And here are some other pictures from the day...I wish I could put them all on here, but I really am trying to narrow them down, although it doesn't look like it! Between me and our friend Michael, who does a little photography on the side, there were LOTS of really great pictures from the day!
We had lots of fun celebrating our sweet Addison! Weston's 5th birthday is next month, so I'm busy planning the next birthday party!! Stay tuned...
Much love,
