The Birthday Carnival!

As stated previously, we decided to do a joint bday party for the kids this year. Last year, we just rented out the local aquatic center for the kiddos party and it was great! We tried to do it again this year, and it was booked. So, on to plan B! I thought a carnival would be fun! We had 6 game stations, face painting, food, and an amazing balloon animal guy. We had almost 50 kids plus some parents come, and it was crazy fun! I felt like a chicken running around with my head cut off for most of the party, but everything turned out great! Thanks to all the friends and family who helped out! We are so blessed to have such incredible people to share these memories with! I think the most chaotic part was the opening of presents. First of all, there were SO many! I was trying to take pictures of both kids opening, but it was impossible! They were both thrilled with everything they got, but it was a total blur for me! The balloon guy did a fun demonstration while the kids ate hot dogs, chips, and popcorn. He also made animals for each child. He really was so good! Overall, I think it was a success! Happy birthday kiddos!

The best part was after he was done, he ran out screaming, "Don't laugh at me just because I'm black!!!" Kind of funny!
