Corrina's 7th Birthday - Carnival Party!

Corrina decided to have a Carnival Party for her 7th birthday. We set up carnival games, like ring toss, duck pond, basketball hoop, beanbag toss, gave out tickets, and had a ticket redemption area with inflatable dogs, chips and water, tattoos and face-painting, and other toys.
She invited her whole class (which is only 11 kids!) and she also invited her 1st grade teacher, Mrs. Joyce, who actually came! Everyone had a great time. She had a monkey cake, and I also made cupcakes because they're so much faster to serve to hungry partiers!

Corrina got some great presents:
Grandaddy Butler - $50
Nee Nee - Purple shorts and top (hand made)
Uncle John - 2 craft kits
Joe and Val - kite
Gramma and Grampa - George of the Jungle 2 DVD, Bratz Genie Magic DVD
Chuck and Rose - $5
Cousin Toni - Hello Kitty necklace, Disney Princess backpack
Thomas - Toys R Us gift certificate
Eric A. - boy Barbie doll, Mermaidia Barbie doll
Tommy - Outburst game
Mikayla - MyScene Barbie doll, fuse bead craft kit
Karolin - jeweled flip flops, musical Barbie diary
Nick - money
Mrs. Joyce - baby sock coin purse, uno cards, Magenta stuffed animal
Eric K. - Target gift card
Jimmy - Target gift card, piggy bank
