A Birthday Carnival

Oliver's party seemed to be a huge hit among the party goers. 
There was a ton of people there and to say it was chaotic would be an understatement. 
I had it all planned out how it would all flow and well none of that happened. The place was so big that the kids just kinda flew, but overall it was a great party and Oliver and Wesley had a BLAST! 

The location

Here are some of the details. 
A before of the Gazebo

And after


The games


The Candy buffet was a huge hit both with the kids and the adults

It included tons of different colorful candy and I made mini carmel apples, Devil's food m&m cookies, and Chocolate & Vanilla Cake pops.
Oliver loves these cookies

The 'Popcorn' Red Velvet cupcakes

Funfetti Clown cupcakes
There was also some rainbow swirl Chocolate cupcakes.

Along with the games and playground there was a 'photobooth' set up and Charlie and I made some cute little props to be used with it. 
Everyone really had a good time with this but o boy was it trouble! We had it set up on my backdrop stand and the wind kept knocking it over after we had a last minute change of plans on the set up. Thankfully a friend of our's figured out a way to tie it to the gazebo for stability and we were in business. 

Oliver loved being passed around. He was giggling all day. He loves attention

Oliver had SO much and passed out for 2hours after. We actually had to wake him up for dinner.

And the amount of awesome gifts he got was outrageous! He really is so very loved. 
Our house looked like a toy store exploded for a couple of days but we finally got it all put away. 

Thanks again SO much to everyone who came out to celebrate Oliver's special day. He really had SO much fun
