Birthday Party!

So...I learned it's hard to plan a party around a theme that hasn't been popular (except among your kids) for 6 or so years.  The boys L.O.V.E. Caillou and requested the theme months ago.  Thankfully I was able to locate a table cloth and some shirts for the little guys.


Here's the decor:

Chandelier pom-poms:


Cutie Patootie Pictures:


Front door decor:


The pinata (having nothing to do with Caillou...but it was the only one the boys could agree on at the party store):


Yummy cupcakes:


Craft activities for the kids:


These ended up being the party favors...only most kids forgot them after the pinata and cupcakes;


And here's the action:

My favorite part was right before bedtime when Grant sat in my lap and named every single person that was at his party (without my prompting)...even kids he didn't know very well.  I was so proud that he paid attention to his guests enough to remember their names.

  2. It looks like so much fun! I wish my kiddos and I were over our stupid, nasty colds so that we could have made it.

  4. Okay - FUNNY THING. I just came back here to ask you about the artwork on your wall because we went ahead and did that ourselves, but I wanted to ask you what or how you got the bubbles to smooth out around the edges........and then I enlarged your pic and looked more closely at your pages.......and we picked the SAME PAPER PACK! LOL. Anywho....did you smooth the edges somehow?
