County Fair Birthday

Our baby girl just turned two. Can I say that again? Our baby girl turned TWO! Ahh where does the time go?

I had this whole grand idea for a County Fair theme, to be held outside in our yard. It was going to be perfect. And then Mother Nature said, I think not. And it rained. And rained. And rained. For three days straight it rained. So much for outside.

Plan ... Z. Because let's be honest who really wants 14 children and 32 adults crammed into their house. I don't care what size home you have.

It went very well however, and I think everyone had a great time. Here's a few pics of the decor if you'd like any ideas of our own.


The cake - A farm scene completed with ducks.

 

The flowers. Anyone who knows me knows that no party is complete without flowers. And we had lots of them. Petite, pink and white flowers. 




And the food. 
The Menu:
Tator tots
Corn on the Cob
Smoked Wings
Veggie and Fruit Platters
Popcorn
Animal Crackers

All things that remind of the the fair




The activities:
Bucket fishing 
Bean Bag Toss
Face Painting
Destroying the Play Room - or maybe that was just an added bonus. *Wink*





Oh yea, and don't forget singing in the rain.


 Some additional decor.
















And the party favors. Squash seedlings.

Tag reads:
"Thank you for celebrating year TWO with me!

I'm so small today,
but time passes so quick.

With sunshine, water, and room to grow,
I'll be as big as you before you know."







Anyway, We had a great time! Now to plan for next year.

What theme are you doing for this years birthday?
