Ryker's 1st Birthday!
Ryker's 2nd Birthday at Build a Bear
Welcome to Ryker's Birthday Carnival! Filled with games, face painting, and balloon animals! This year we decided to give Ryker a Birthday Carnival! And instead of hiring entertainment I decided to be the entertainment! Yes, that's right, a clown! Lots of fun!
I was inspired by a good friend of mine who had a circus bday party for her daughter. Thanks Angela and Steve for some inspiration!
I didn't realize how much fun it was going to be to make games, candy buffet, and cutouts! I think Michael thought I was crazy with all of my ideas! But once we put the party together he realized it was all worth it!

Candy Buffet
Balloon Animals, popcorn cupcakes

Very easy to do!
printed out labels and glued them to the candies
popcorn cupcakes: marshmallows on top, and
I used food coloring to dye the marshmallows yellow
Went to the dollar store and bought fish bowls
and used construction paper to make fish and used
paper clips to catch the fish with the fishing pole that
has a magnet attached to the end of the line.
all signs made with foam board bought from the
dollar store. I used lucas' washable paints to color in
the words!
I used water bottles and bought bracelets from the
dollar store.
I saved all of our apple juice bottles and
of course used stripped wrapping paper I bought from
walmart for 97cents a roll!
Once again we have the famous foam board
I taped 2 together to make this!
Made the cutout with foam board
used 3 boards taped together

Ryker's Bday Cake
Happy Birthday Ryker!
We love you!
clowning around!
Me and my little bear!
We had such a blast at Ryker's bday! It turned out better then I thought it would! Ryker had so much fun once the party ended he fell asleep on the couch! As exhausting as it gets to planning the perfect party it truly is worth it, by seeing your loved ones having a great time! Thank you for joining us at Ryker's Carnival Bday!
Happy Birthday Ryker, may this year bring you more adventures, and curiosity to being a big boy! We love you so much! and we are so proud of all of your mile stones you have achieved thus far! We look forward to watching you learn and grow more each and every day!
