Christopher's 6th ARMY Birthday Party

My son Christopher LOVES anything Army and he wanted an "ARMY" themed party, so my husband and I put one together for him!

 

I made his invitations on the computer using Picasa.

 

When the kids arrived they received an Army mask to wear.

 

 

My husband made an obstacle course in our backyard.  After doing a warm up exercise with Sergeant Dan (My Husband) The kids had to complete a course that involved jumping through hoops (garden hose), climbing through a tunnel, climbing through crazy wire (string), climbing up and over a wall, walking across a beam, climbing up on a post then taking a ride in the tire swing :)

 

After the Course the kids took a ride on our zipline~

We served hot dogs, nachos & cheese, fruit, chips & dip,  preztels,  celery & ranch, candy, cupcakes, water, juice & soda.

 

 

 

I used brown paper bags for the "goodie bags" and printed out the number 6 that I glued to each bag.  I also attached a note that thanked them for coming to his party.  The kids filled their bags with the candy from the dessert table.

 

 

After Christopher opened his gifts we had a surprise for all the kids!  My husband made Marshmallows shooters for each child to take home.  He made them using PCP and spray paint.  Each child received one along with a bag of mini marshmallows and they had a marshmallow fight :)

 

 

 

The kids had a Blast!! The party was a Success and the Birthday boy was Happy :)

 

 

DJ's 3rd Birthday Carnival Party

I love planning and having FUN Parties for my kids.  Every year they look forward to their Birthday and so do I :)

My son DJ wanted a Carnival Party for his 3rd Birthday!!  It was a hit and everyone had a great time!

 

Thanks to pinterest I found tons of free printables and ideas!!

 

We made a TICKET BOOTH!!! My daughter gave each child a gift bag when they entered our backyard.

 

As the kids came into the Carnival (Our Backyard) We had several games set up for them to play.  All the Games were easy to make.

I had tables setup for Tattoos and Face Painting.  My Mom was doing the Face Painting and my friend was giving the "Fake" Tattoos!! Everyone LOVED it!!

 

We made a PHOTO BOOTH (from a refrigerator box) My mom made the props from her cricut machine.

 

We have Several Large stuffed animals so we put them in our Trampoline with a sign that said "Do Not Feed the Animals"

The kids had Fun jumping in the "Lion Cage" :)

 

 

 

We put our air hockey table outside for more fun and kids had fun on the swings.

 

I always get overwhelmed and forget to take pictures of the food. lol  We served cotton candy, hot dogs, nachos & cheese, animal crackers, juice, soda, punch, popcorn, candy, cupcakes and Snow Cones!! 

 

 

Each child bought home cotton candy, animal crackers, candy and they exchanged tickets for prizes.  The bags they received at the beginning of the party they used for all their goodies and Prizes!

 

 

 

 

Everyone had a Great time, especially the Birthday Boy!!
