Yes… that’s french… Carnival Birthday would be the translation.
This weekend ends another extravaganza ending in a daughter that is yet one year older. Carissa turned 8 at the end of last month and yesterday we held her birthday party here. She wanted a carnival themed party so April went all out for her. We bought an inflatable bounce house off of eBay because it was outrageous to rent one for like 4 hours, and now we have one we can use more than just once. April came up with all kinds of games that the kids could play using tickets. They won tokens while playing the games that could be redeemed for prizes of various token levels. The kids seemed to really enjoy it. It sure was a lot of work though and we all got sun tanned (or burnt in my case), but it was good because it was a nice day.
I’m sure April will have pics on her myspace (and facebook, I reckon). Today was Cousin Steff’s baby shower, so the whole weekend was pretty full. We still have some birthday party related items to clean out of the garage. The sooner the better so I can put my car back in, but we’re getting there.
It was a great Birthday party!!
