We combined the girls birthday parties this year, which, we think, makes it easier for those of you who travel long distances (i.e. catch a plane) to be here to share with our girls!
We had a circus theme this year, and all of the kids had a BLAST! We played carnival games, and each kid received a medal. We had a bounce house, music, and a popcorn machine, which was a HUGE hit!! Our cupcakes were decorated with clown faces, tufts of cotton candy, and frosted animal crackers. Daddy manned the BBQ and turned out delicious hamburgers, hot dogs, and bratwursts! And, we had a tower of PB&J sandwiches sprinkled with rainbow Skittles, just for good measure! Our treat buckets were star pencil holders for the girls and popcorn holders for the boys, all stuffed with circus stickers, circus bookmarks to color, crayons, pencils, Smarties, Skittles brand special edition Carnival flavors gum, and a mini-bag of microwave popcorn.
We opened Norah's gifts first, and we were SO proud of our 5-year-old Molly who sat patiently the entire time, waiting for Norah to finish opening her gifts. Not once did she complain or ask when it would be her turn. She was so awesome!
Months ago, Amelya commissioned all of the "older" girls to put on a circus show at the beginning of the party. We had jugglers, comics, lions, hula-hoopers, and our neighbor even dressed up as a clown! They did a great job, and Molly and Norah really enjoyed the show!
