Thing 1's Fifth Birthday Party

Thing 1 was given so many beautiful gifts! What a lucky little birthday girl.
Miss Isabelle enjoying one of the rock candy suckers given out. Look at how pretty her face is.
The balloons had little balls in them so they made noises when you shook them. Everything that Buttons did was fantastic. She was so much better then I had expected.
The magic show.

Chloe was timid to get her face done and after her mom got one on her wrist she was willing to get a small one done. I thought she looked adorable.

The potato sack race.
Buttons did the balloons while Thing 1 opened the gifts. This party was so long. In the end it took around three hours to finish everything.
chuga chuga choo choo!
Look at these faces!

I know this is out of order but I didn't want frequent visitors of the blog(Linds) to swing by for a checkup and miss this one. Thing 1 turned five this year. I can't believe she is so big now. For her party I did a carnival theme. We had all these little booths for games and a clown that did face painting and a magic show and blew up balloons for the kids and a train for them to go on. It was a blast! Many of the parents stayed to help with their kids which was very nice as well. There were over 25 little ones running around so needless to say it was pretty hectic but very worth it. The face painting was AMAZING!!! She was fast and the best face painter I have ever seen.
Some of the booths we had were a hoola hoop throw, a ring toss, a kissing booth(they were blindfolded and had to place a pair of lips on a frog), tin can knock down, bean bag toss, and a bowling one. We had the kids run a race in potato sacks while we were setting up for the magic show and gifts. In the end I think the kids had some fun.
