Alex the birthday boy!

Alex opening something from Nannie and Papa
Alex's Kung Fu Panda cake
Connor almost nailed Aaron with something. Not sure if it was the Ringmaster Hat or the pinata stick.


Joey and Alex
Alex opening a ROCKET...do you think the parents hate me? Just kidding, Michelle. Aaron's just as excited as Alex about this!
Pippi has got most everyone's attention for her Fun Magic. Alex got to hold the special wand This was taken probably close to the time when the party turned from a kids party into an adult party.
Raymond and his skateboard...er...longboard I think is what he called it. No drinking and driving at our parties...



What a glorious day!



Good food, good friends and good drinks :o)



It was a late afternoon/evening soiree and everything went according to plan. Well almost, the clown finished early by 40 minutes but with the pinata and gift opening and eating and birthday cake we went over our 3 hours that we had planned for. And the clown was AMAZING so I'm not really bent up about the time thing.



We had 3 Hulks, 3 Batmans, 1 Spiderman, 1 Siberian Tiger, 1 Unicorn, 1 Clown and 1 Dragon. Seriously, all I can do are happy faces , hearts and maybe a flower...definitely nothing like Pippi!

You do the best birthday parties. We're sad to have missed it.

I can't say I have been to a more kid friendly party than this one. Pippi had each and every child under her total spell...from numbering each for their turn at face painting to the fun magic. And her painting skill...wow...she was great with each and every one and made them all feel so very special. Great choice Lesley!

Wow - quite the party!! How cool are you?

Wanna come down to Cranbrook and plan my son's 4th birthday? For some reason, my plans always flop with the number one issue being the weather ......

LOVE the face painting!!
