I mentioned last week that the BIG CIRCUS THEMED PARTY for the twins 6th Birthday was coming up…..it’s THANKFULLY come and gone but I couldn’t let today pass without my glimpse of part of our Holiday Happiness. The holiday season six years ago brought us the birth of our high risk twins and so each year I’m reminded to be particular thankful during Thanksgiving and then we get to celebrate well into January the birth of all of our children.
Now, before you go any further, I’d urge you to take a quick peak of the post I just published about the party. It’s more cohesive and shows more aspects of the party than this post, which is really just showing you a glimpse of what holiday happiness looks like in these parts during a Circus Themed Birthday Party!
How to Throw a Circus Themed Birthday Party
Fun, right?
Here’s more:
It was so fun to get the kids’ picture in this clown cut out! {This is John}
The older kids helped with the game stations and the kids loved the face painting. {Isn’t my niece adorable?}
Cotton Candy? Yes, please. {This is Grace and Grace. Part of a group of BFF’s}
Can we just give my sister a big round of applause, please, for taking all of these pictures? {Rachelle and me}
Games….
Hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy and game tickets? Score!
I hope their wishes came true!
Such a fun gang showed up to help celebrate!
The gifts were a real hit too!

Comments are closed on your circus post, but let me just say, INCREDIBLE. Those cupcakes were amazing……everything was really. How many balloons did you have?
Twitter: corisbigmouth

Thanks for letting me know about my comments being closed! I changed that!!
Uhh…last year I think I stopped at about 400 balloons…yes I said 400. Mom wanted me to do another 100 that she had bought, but I was done and we ran out of time!!

That’s what face paint looks like when it’s done by 4th graders.
This looks like a lot of fun! The boys look so happy!

The boys were seriously in HEAVEN, which is just what we were hoping for.

The cotton candy was the hit of the party. One child at 5. FIVE. How is that even possible????
Twitter: 7clowncircus
says:
ate. Not at.
This party looks like such a fun time. I can tell that the kids totally LOVED it.

It’s one of the perks of having multiples. One can justify going a little “bigger” because it’s for more than one. {wink}
Twitter: imperfectmomma
says:
This party looked so awesome! And can I say how much you and your sister look alike? Are you twins? Or maybe its just that I am dead tired…but it took me a second to recognize which was you…
Twitter: 7clowncircus
says:
Not twins….15 months apart, but you can definitely tell we are sisters, right?
Twitter: ptownmoofus
says:
What a blast that must have been! Great photos. You are creating some amazing memories for your kids. Way to go mama!!!
Twitter: 7clowncircus

Crafting memories is about the only way I can justify the time we spent on it.

It turned out so cute!! The little game stands and the cotton candy and popcorn machines really sealed the deal. Also like the mustaches on your little guys. They’re too funny! Happy WW!!!

Alexia. Thanks so much for stopping by. I was pleasantly surprised by the face paint considering it was done by the children.
