the birthday party.

Photobucket

My sweet husband had a birthday on the 28th of June! I wanted to plan something FUN with all of our family & friends to celebrate his big day. Since he is still a ‘young’ adult and hasn’t hit that milestone birthday of ‘thirty’ I decided to plan a CARNIVAL party. The weather was perfect and we had a wonderful night.

the entertainment.

What would a carnival be without a clown to entertain the little ones?! We seriously had about 25 kids to entertain so the adults could enjoy some ‘adult’ time! NEWSY did a fabulous job making balloons, playing games, and doing magic tricks!

the food.

Of course the food had to be themed around an old-fashioned carnival. Sorry for the three day sugar high!

How fun. We are also doing an end of summer carnival on Aug 28th for Erics office. I have had fun planning it to. Didnt it remind you of fair's as a kid? Those make for the best parties. Looks like it was a hit.
