Wooohooooo!! Joe loved his Circus party! He had the best fun and was a happy, happy boy. I am a bit sad that it is all over- the planning was ever such fun. In fact I still haven't taken down most of the decorations...and I am not sure that I ever will :) Having that festive feeling every time we step out the back door can only ever be a good thing.
Ohhh and the cake pops :)
The photo booth ready to go.
The day was easy and totally kid driven. I asked Joe what games he wanted it we planned for it but we just did what they wanted when they wanted. We also played musical chairs, musical statues and pass the parcel. He chose such lovely little people to join the birthday fun. All of the kids he invited were polite and considerate. They were so incredibly grateful and I was thanked repeatedly throughout the day for every little thing. I am so proud of my 6 year old boy xx
All set up and waiting for the kids to arrive....but before we could set the table...
The party preparation chaos...but what fun it was :)
The photo booth, goodie bags, the amazing cake, food, decorations and games.

I was hoping you'd post party photos! That looks amazing - you should hire yourself out as a party planner!
ReplyDeleteThankyou Alison! I would be in my element if I was allowed to plan parties all day every day!
