Sweets and Treats and Lots of Fun

As promised...photos of Kenna's first Birthday! I'm just gonna let the photos do most of the talking.

The fun invitations made by Pink Polka Design (photo from Jenelle's Blog). Jenelle also made all the signs for the games, the big poster for the entry way and the dessert table tags!

The Dessert Table (we had mini donuts, peanuts, cotton candy, chocolate mustaches, cupcakes, elephant sugar cookies, salt water taffy) On a side table we had a popcorn machine, cotton candy machine & old fashioned sodas.

Party Favours (Dumbo books for Kenna's friends and photo cards of Kenna with a mustach for all)!


Pick-a-Duck
Kenna's 2 year old cutie-pie cousin Izzy was later on found swimming in the pick-a-duck!


Kissing Booth guessing game

Petting Zoo...I didn't get my baby elephants or miniature ponies, but we got all sorts of fun little creatures!



Fat Franks...the bill was something like 59 smokies, 61 hotdogs, 30 hamburgers, 20 cheeseburgers, 5 bacon cheeseburgers and a partidge and pear flippin tree consumed by our guests...who also ate BBQ and Filipino food served up by Ken's parents! CRAZY!!!


It's not a party until the bouncy deflates on the children attending the party...so many kids that day...waaay too many and only 1 cried...

Face painting and balloon animals by Mike and Auntie Frani

Kenna-Lu with her grandma and grandpa (earlier that week both of my brother's...well their wives, had baby boys making my parents the grandparents of 8)!

Birthday Cake (she doesn't eat cake or icing, can you believe it?)

Lots of hugs and kisses from family and friends
(this is cousin Mya)


Bestie Cousin (Rian)

Cousin Izzy

Photo booth Silliness with Mama and Daddy

She partied all afternoon...















...and got all tuckered out.


How do we top this for next year? WE JUST DON'T. Kenna gets a little birthday party at home with pancit, pizza and cake (if she will actually eat it)! Thanks for reading!

Kenna's Carnival Sneak Peek

Phew! I am still recovering from the World's Best 1st Birthday party EVER...and now heading into the next 3 busiest weekends for weddings this summer. I don't have much time to blog about the carnival, but rest assured, I will blog EXTENSIVELY about it in the next few weeks. For now, here's a little taste.

It was a gorgeous Sunday afternoon and everything was amazing! We had carnival games, a petting zoo, face painting, balloon animal making, a photo booth,cotton candy and popcorn machine a giant bouncy castle, a hot dog vendor (Fat Franks no less) and the wonderfully talented Buffy Goodman to capture the memories...I can't wait to see her photos! YAY! The only thing missing? Baby elephants stomping around the yard...oh and the ferris wheel I searched high and low for to rent...yes, the backyard was big enough for such fun! Oh well, next time!

Poster design, invitations (which I'll post in greater detail when I blog about it again), and dessert table stationary-created by my very favourite designer, Jenelle from Pink Polka.

It's definitely not a Whimsical Party without a sweet table...
here's just a teeny tiny peek for you!


Bet you're dying to see more! It'll be all worth the wait....
