I call it a bash because it was unlike any birthday party i have ever thrown. However I did feel like we did it typical Stephens Style, big! We had the party at our church pavilion because there were like 16 tables, shade, and lots of space for kids to run and for everything else. We had 2 ponies for pony rides, a huge bounce house that had a slide on the side, a wacky hose with 16 wiggly sprinklers, and a balloon artist. When the kids arrived they were given an animal hat and a party bag. I would have to say the kids enjoyed the ponies first, then the balloon artist. We also had a popcorn machine and a sno-cone machine..those were big hits too!!! On top of we made corn dogs, hot dogs, little BBQ wienies, chips, goldfish, animal crackers, frozen Otto-pops, pop, water, AND 92 cupcakes. I had tons of games like bingo, skeeball, bean bag toss, and stuff like that but it seemed like the kids were all busy and occupied so i skipped all that. We also had 2 pinatas. A life size zebra and a number "1" that our friend made for Andrew. The kids enjoyed that zebra. My dad pulled his truck up so they had more leverage to pull the Zebra Pinata up because it was huge and heavy with all that candy in it. Funny Funny! The pictures are of some of our guests, the ponies taking people for rides, and just random shots around the pavillion. This party was a lot of work but it was so fun. Thank you to all our wonderful friends who drove an hour plus just to come, i wish i would have had time to just sit down and chat with you. Also, Tami and her kids flew in the morning for the party and holy heck Tami was a huge help. Thanks Tam i could have never done all of that without you. AND of course to my parents who did everything to make this possible. What a group effort to pull this off. Thank you also for all of Andrews gifts. Several were without cards :(. It was a wonderful and tiring day..we are going to start planning our next baby's birthday party now. (click on the pic below to see all the pictures from the party)
