Happy Wednesday!! I had to add a few words to this post so sorry that it is not exactly wordless. So I took over 300 pictures from this party and tried to to condense it to a few. Very hard to do! Anyway, the carnival theme party took me around 3 months to plan and this is with combining the work with my friend whose sons birthday was combined with Hayley. I used a lot of suggestions from blogs I found online so if you are ever considering doing this theme, let me know. Anyway, the kids had a blast!! Not really sure how we will top this year, but we shall see!
Party setup: We had 4 carnival booths that the kids used tickets to play(obviously we provided the tickets free),a party bag decorating station for the prizes, a cotton candy machine, popcorn machine, face painter, balloon girl, tattoo guy(happens to be our cousin), and a candy bar.
Some pictures of the setup:

This looks like such an awesome birthday party! Hayley must have loved it – you're clearly such an awesome mom 🙂 And I love that last one of Zane passed out.
That looks like such a fun party! You did an awesome job!
This looks like the best party! I am sure the kids loved it. Great Job Mama!
