The theme was "costume carnival" and I just kind of made that name up, but the kids were encouraged to dress up. Figured all the kids liked to dress up and it is a good excuse to reuse last years costume or break out the new one from this year. We used this years costumes and Addy was Cherry Jam, a character from the Strawberry Shortcake story, and Ella was a bumble bee fairy.
One of the activities was Just Dance Kids - here is Addy showing off her moves.
Addy's costume came with a wig that was clearly quite different from her normal hair. She didn't wear it too much b/c it got hot.
Ella with Granddad and Meme in the photo booth.
Addy and her friends hamming it up for the camera.
Our little bumble bee fairy/doctor (Addy has named her Doc McBumbleBee) really enjoyed getting her face and arms painted
Honey Dew the clown was a the party doing face painting and a fabulous magic show that all the kids LOVED.
Here is Addy's cake. Designed by Addy, made by Mommy. Don't look too close, I have yet to perfect the art of applying buttercream icing, but this is way better than past attempts. Turns out You Tube is a great source for videos on cake icing techniques!
Addy enjoying her cake and a great shot of her arm decor and crown from Honey Dew.
Family pic. Somehow we always think about it at the end of the event and there were 2 tired kiddos (and parents!) but an entertaining pic nonetheless.
