Kids Parties

Today I am linking up with Kelly's Korner which is all about Kids Parties. People who know me know how much I LOVE parties. Here are some of the idea's I have had over the years.

Olivia's 6th Birthday Party - Mad Tea Party

As all the little girls arrive we painted their nails.
Once everyone was there we started the games. The first game was a hula hoop game. Everyone has to hold hands and you have to move the hula hoop as fast as you can from one end to the other. This was really fun and the girls wanted to do it a bunch of times. Then we played another game where there were two teams, each person in each team had to dress up in a dress, scarf, shoes, and necklace of mine then run down to the bottom of the hill, come back up, take everything off and then the next girl would go.
After all the games the girls came over to the table, but before they sat down they all got a necklace, bracelets, and petti skirts to add to the fun.
Here are some detail pictures







Ethan's 5th Birthday - Carnival
Invitations
All the Booth's Set up in the backyard
Kissing Booth - Kids had to guess how many Hershey Kisses were in the apothecary jar. Who ever was closest got all the candy.
Lucky Duck Booth - There was water in the table and each duck had a number on it. The children would pick a duck and whatever number that was at the bottom of the duck was the number of little prized they were able to get.
Hola Hoop Rocket(I do know how to spell, it was just 3am when I was finished these posters! HA!) - Someone held the hula hoop up and the kids had to try to get the nerf rockets through it.
Tic Tac Toe - My husband built this game for the party and it was a big hit. Each kid got 6 balls to try and get three in a row. It was a big hit!
Gone Fishing - There was a stick with a clothes pin tied to the end of the rope. The kids would toss the string over and then when it came back up a prize was attached.
Cake
Party Favors
We also had a cotton candy machine, Popcorn, Hot Dogs, and Hamburgers. It was such a fun party. Also, when all the kids walked in there was a little area for them to decorate their own bag for them to put all their prizes.

Tomorrow will be my son Kai's 5th Birthday which is Pirate theme and I cannot wait!

Luke just had his 2nd birthday which was Toy Story 3.
