After months of planning JD's 1st Birthday Party, I'm happy to say that everything turned out great! I really don't know how we could have pulled this party off without the help of our wonderful friends and family, whom we love and thank from the bottom of our hearts for all their hard work and support. I especially want to thank my hubby who had the brilliant idea of asking our friend Cindy Gauna-Manson who is an amazing photographer, to capture all these wonderful moments and memories. We have hundreds of pictures of JD's party and I wish I could post every single one, but that would take a very long time; so we've narrowed it down to our absolute favorites. I have 3 categories that I will feature in 3 post. Come one, come all, step right up...
Welcome to the Carnival...
Ticket Booth
Prize Tent
Train Rides
Carousel Jumper
Sweet Shoppe
Carnival Cake
Lulu the Clown
and much, much, more...

Thanks everyone for the wonderful comments! @ Monique, just let me know which ones your interested in and I can post them or email you. You can find some of them in the Party Stuff label under this post also.
Wow this is amazing! I did a carnival party a few years ago for my daughter's 8th birthday, and now my son wants to do the same party for his 8th birthday, but I have to "boy" it up a little. I'm going with red, yellow, & pool blue as the main color scheme, and would love to rent your ticket booth from you! Have you thought about renting it out? I am in so-cal (which is actually not that small of an area!)...but I hope you are close to me! Let me know! Thanks!!! Again, amazing party!

Hi..I've stumbled upon your blog through someone elses. I was wondering if you could send me the site and tell me where you got those large lanterns. I haven't been able to find laterns to hang that big. I loved the pictures of the party...looked like fun!
This is the coolest party I have EVER seen!! My son is coming up on his 8mo. birthday and I am already thinking about what I will do for his birthday. I would love to be able to pull this off. It must have cost you a fortune & lots and lots of time. . . I guess that's why I'm thinking about this NOW!! I am 200% going to steal some of your amazing ideas!! Thanks for sharing!
All I can say is WOW!!
