Carnival Birthday Party

For Ryann and Addy's birthday this year we decided to combine their party and do a carnival theme. We had a blast! We have so many great pictures (thanks to my friend Patty Crane) that I made a video to upload to You Tube....only it won't work :( I will try and see what I can do and let you know when it is there. In the meantime here are a few pictures to hold you over. For invitations my sister helped me make a darling circus tent in primary colors. Many people may not know but Las Vegas can be VERY VERY windy! I prayed for a beautiful none windy day. All week it was beautiful then came the party day and the wind was crazy! It popped my balloons and I was unable to use some of the decorations :( ....luckily by the end of the night the winds calmed. Despite the wind it was lots of fun!!!

Birthday Helpers-Kylee's friends came to help run the games

Centerpieces I made

Birthday Girls in the Bouncy House

It was a very windy day!!! Bad for all the balloons but great for bubbles!

SOME OF THE GAMES



This one was the favorite for Ryann's age and the Fish Pond was the favorite for the younger kids.

Now for a little entertainment for the adults...a friendly little pie eating contest turned into fight.

Our CUTE CLOWN! She did face painting, got them dancing, did a magic trick, and topped it off with balloon animals.....she was GREAT!








The Ticket booth I made out of a box and some PVC, wrapping paper, and fabric.
My Sister handed each kid a bag filled with tickets for the games as they entered the carnival.

Sparklers to end the night!

We invited families which means my friends were there too!


Nothing screams Carnival like COTTON CANDY & POPCORN!
For dinner we had a Hot Dog bar with watermelon and chips. Picture below is before the food was put out.







Good Times!!
