Ethan's Carnival



This is the beautiful cake that Shama made for Ethan, and I am so grateful to her for making it because with everything else I was trying to do I could have never pulled it off! SO THANKS! Again!
These were the invitations!
Goodie Bags!




Well, this year I decided to go all out for my sweet Ethan since he was going to be the big 5! Well, all the planning, preparation, and super late nights paid off. It was a hit and Ethan just loved it. The part that makes me the happiest is that today during lunch Olivia was talking about what she was going to do for her birthday. She said that she wanted to have her party at Chuck E Cheese, and Ethan said "having a carnival is way cooler and even more fun!" That is right everyone the carnival party beat out Chuck E Cheese at least in the mind of Ethan that is.

I can't tell you how sad I am that my kids were in Utah and couldn't come. This party looks awesome!!! I know everyone there had a blast. You are such a fun mom to be able to put this together for him. I am sure he won't ever forget it.

For the kissing booth the kids had to guess how many Hershey Kisses were in the jar. Who ever got the closest got to keep the kisses. So no real kissing was going on!

Danae, I am SOOOOO impressed! What a great idea and you did a fabulous job with the booths, no wonder Ethan was in heaven. I know Chuck E. Cheese would be a whole lot easier but this is something Ethan will never forget. You better start coming up with ideas for Olivia because she will want a big ole' party when she is 5!
Love you all and miss you! Aunt Jan
