We started out by playing some carnival games like Can Toss, Bottle Ring Toss, Bean Bag Toss, Duck Fishing, Bowling, and a water Balloon toss. The "Carnival" was originally set to be outside but the Houston weather had other plans. A cold front came through so we had to move all the games into the garage. I was worried it wouldn't be as fun but I don't think the kids even noticed. After playing games and riding the pony and car rides we feasted on hot dogs and nachos. This was not a party for the dieting type. ha h aha ha. Next it was CAKE TIME!!!!
Everyone sang Happy Birthday and we blew out the candles. Nolan was very iffy about his cake. He got a little icing on his fingers and tasted it. I guess he liked it because he kept going back for a little more. We got him a spoon and then he went for it. He had more fun watching all the kids eating and making jokes at the table. They were all so cute talking and joking with each other around the table like a bunch of adults.
After more sweets and goodies the kids got to load up their "prize" bags at the carnival. There were goodies galore that included fish in soap( an alternative to real goldfish) , cotton candy, lollipops, snakes, princess wands, sheriff badges, sunglasses, gummi hotdogs and more. Next our friend Kelley put on a show for the kids by making balloon animals! ha h ah a. If you know Kelley it is funny but totally believable that she knows how to do this! She had originally made balloon hats for all the kids but decided to make some other things when the kids asked. In one of the pictures Bella and Allison are watching her in pure amazement! Hilarious.
We had such a great day and are so grateful for our wonderful friends and family! The always make these special times even more special.
