Circus Party Bash!

Oh boy, did we have fun with our little Tag's circus birthday party! I decided to use a circus theme way back in October and was able to find lots of fun stuff along the way. Our Bishop was nice enough to let us use the church house, so we were able to have all the family together. We had hot dogs, popcorn, peanuts, nachos, and a cotton candy maker we never got around to using.

These pics are all compliments of Uncle Brock, the assigned photographer for the event. Thanks bud!

Tag's adorable clown outfit. Yes, homemade, but I can't take the credit. My good pal/sewing teacher , Jamie, helped me every step of the way, and she sketched the pattern....amazing!
(he didn't love the hat, I have no idea why!?)
Ya, I'm pretty proud of these cakes. I found pictures online and just copied.



A centerpiece.

My funny clown again.
Just washin the cake down with some milk.
(These pics are kinda out of order...why is it so hard to upload pics on blogger?)

Diggin in.

Happy Birthday to Tag.
(Notice face paint on Tag's cutie cousin Jayde. Aunt Karaline was assigned the circus face painter.)
Good ole game of pin the nose on the clown.

Sweet Amoree Kate partying with clown nose in hand and girly face paint.

I had a bag for each of the kids with a clown nose, circus book, animal crackers, etc. I also made clown hats and let them each decorate their own. Here is Isaac dancing the night away.

What is a circus without a clown and dancing gorilla?

Dancing gorilla attacking my brother.


I had Jon come out as my dancing gorilla to the song, "I like to move it, move it."
Despite the fact that the kids were all terrified of him at Halloween time, they LOVED it!!

What a lucky boy Tag is!
Cousin Savana dancing with the gorilla.

Tag's Daddy is multi-talented. He was also Jonny the Juggler;)

Grandpa Abel, the clown. Doesn't he look authentic? Thanks Dad!

Tag and his cousin, Maliya, were not fans of the clown. Tag could just not see Grandpa under that makeup and was not about to hang out with him too long.

And last, but certainly not least. The bearded lady! I didn't even have to get a costume for this one. Thanks for growing those whiskers out Aunt Nikki ;) Ha Ha!
Thanks to all the family for being such good sports and helping out.
I had so much fun with this!
