Abbys Birthday Party

(6/20/09)Abbys birthday is December 21st but we celebrate in June for her half birthday. This year she had a carnival/circus themed party and she had so much fun. It was really hot but we kept everybody cool with a mister, fans and cold drinks. We had a ticket booth and when the kids arrived they got a necklace with tickets on it and a bag for them to decorate for their goodies. They played games like lucky duck, go fish, pin drop, bean bag toss, and we had a lollipop tree too, the last booth was "pick a prize" (stuffed animals) just like on the midway. We turned the garage in to a huge tent, to get the feeling of being under the big top. We had a pinata, hotdogs, nachos and cheese, popcorn, cupcakes and icecream. Twinkles the clown did face painting, and balloon animals, she was definitely the hit of the day. I can't thank my parents and Jasons parents enough for all their help. My dad grilled the hotdogs, my mom helped on everything from the signs for the games to buying all the food. Jasons mom made all the aprons for us carnival workers and Abbys outfit, and his dad and sister, blew up all the balloons, that was a huge help, we had over 120 balloons and there was no way I had time to blow them up. So thank you to our parents, and all the children and their parents who came!
