What fun! Miss Kaitlyn turned One Year Old in February, and I was asked to be a part of the planning. Such a lucky girl. The theme was old-fashion midway or carnival.
The party was held at Granite Bay Golf Club, where we brought in a carnival tent and six old-timey wooden games. Many children got into the action, as did a few parents. I retained the services of Sierra College cheerleaders who helped the kids with the games, passed out the prizes, and also worked with little ones at the arts and craft table.
Carnival food was served - tray passed mini hamburgers and vegie sticks in ranch dip (the vegies were an attempt to be somewhat healthy since the buffet included corn dogs, mac & cheese, mozzarella sticks and four styles of French fries) Lordy, Lordy!
I love the cake, in the perfect theme. This cake was served to the guests, while little Kaitlyn got her own mini-cake.
And what carnival doesn't serve popcorn? We set up 5 containers each containing a different flavor. Believe it or not, the favorite might have been the cheddar cheese flavor!
Cute table centerpieces - simple and perfect for the kids to enjoy.
The cheerleaders, holding the Birthday Girl were so much fun, and a huge hit to the party! Here they are in front of a giant popcorn box (filled with balloons at the top).
Each child who played the carnival games received tons of prizes and stuffed the winnings into their own box.
Thank you so much to Jeremy Underwood of Sharpe Photographers who took all these photos, and so many more - we had a blast working together on this event.Happy, Happy Birthday Kaitlyn. Be sure to have mommy and daddy contact me for all your birthday parties!
