THE CARNIVAL CELBRATION

I admit that none of my ideas are original, but I do try add my own personal touch to them. Hence, the very popular carnival party. I have been thinking about doing a carnival birthday for Rylan since July and found an overload of ideas. The finished production...

Rylan's Carnival Celebration!

Invitations (included an admission ticket)

Table scape

Place settings--these were also used as ticket bags, and at the end of the party each guest turned their tickets in for treats at the candy bar.

Carousel Cupcakes and a Candy Bar Prize Table

Games: Fishing, Ball toss, Duck scooping, Balloon animals (provided by...moi)
Menu: Corn dogs, Fries, Corn on the Cob on a stick, fruit, lemonade

Opening presents (the best part!) I had the person who brought the gift help Rylan open it...that way it was funner for the kids (although most of them ended up telling Rylan what was inside the wrapping before he had opened it.)

The birthday boy!

I had so much fun planning and doing this party, even though it was a little crazy at times (what can you expect with a bunch of 3 and 4 year old's!) Rylan loved every minute of it, he was so excited and happy and practically bouncing off the walls the entire time, (even Cameron sat and watched and was a really good boy...of course he was munching on a candy necklace for most of it.) Thanks to everyone that came and for all the gifts...Rylan can't get enough of them, and he continues to talk about his Carnival Party and all the friends that came! Happy Birthday Rylan Bug!

Kim, you are crazy! Just pure crazy. I love all your ideas, whether they are borrowed or not. Your boys are sure lucky to have a Mom like you...you are so fun! (P.S. my word verification (below) just happened to be "sperm" this time)

Can you believe he's three already? What a handsome little guy. Just like his daddy. Happy birthday Ry! Kimberly, you put the rest of us to shame. That is one more reason why you guys need to move by us... I could hire you to do my kids' birthday parties. Love and miss you guys.
