Andrew's Ball Carnival Birthday Party

The ball room:

the punch balls were my favorite... we are still playing with them today

The Carnival event stations:


1: Shooting two



2. Goodie Bag Making

(with our stylish Carnival employee- Elise)

3. Slide bowling




4. Coloring Wall

(I had so much fun drawing pictures for this. I think we need
something like this permanently up at our house. Andrew is still coloring it today.)

5. Pin the ball on the wall




The food:



The birthday boy was a total ham. Sang "Happy Birthday" to himself while blowing out the candles throughout the song. This time we only had to relight them three times though.


The cake (this was our only big disaster... we are just glad it was in one piece for the party):


Before the madness began


The playrooms upstairs were also a hit as the party wound down



Andrew loved showing his friends his new train table


Some of the guests:

I think he walked around with both balloons the whole party!

(this was my fav pic of the day- all three of them w/ their phones out)

Little man is still opening his presents


He prefers to do it slowly and play with each toy for awhile. I think we'll be opening them all week.


Thanks to those who drove over or up for Andrew's ball carnival (and also to those who flew over :))! We were happy to have you come celebrate with us! We had a lot of fun and we think the birthday boy had a better time than we did.

I already can't wait til next year!

(If this isn't enough pictures for you, I'll post more later today on Picassa. Enjoy!)
