CAROUSEL PARTY

May 21, 2012

We threw a Carousel Party for the first birthday of Adrien. Most of the decoration and food was hand made by me.  I'll explain in detail below each one of the elements we had.

In addition, we had a real carousel as the main attraction for the children. It was a blast!!

It was also a windy day, so I couldn't take the best pictures. But we were so lucky that in a week full or raindrops, we had the whole day a bright and shiny sun. Thanks God!

André's third birthday: ANDRE CIRCUS

A few months ago we celebrated André's third birthday party with a Circus theme. Do you remember his first birthday was with an Under-the-water theme? This time we had a smaller party in our house in Geneva. The invitations were made in layers of foamy with embossed stickers and a cover of a foamy circus tent. Instead of an envelope, I used a hand-made red box with confetti, an elephant cookie and bracelets to coloring.

REMEMBERING ANDRE'S SECOND BIRTHDAY

My plan is to organize a formal birthday party every two years.  Some time ago, I uploaded a post about the nice André's first birthday party with an under the water theme.  For his second birthday, we just went to the Museum of Natural History of Geneva, wich have incredible settings of all kind of animals... even camels! André was born in Dubai, where he had at that time lots of stuffed camels, so he loves them!  :)

André's first birthday: UNDER THE WATER THEME

Today I wanted to remember my son André's first birthday.  We decided to make it in Ecuador, my home country, and I chose an Under-the-water theme.  Before to share some pics I want to thank to all the friends and relatives that came over to make it a special day.

The picture above shows the invitations, which were like a message in a bottle with the theme of the party engraved in laser.  Inside the bottle there were some seaweed and small marine animals.
