Violet, Dumbo, and Friends

This past Saturday we were invited to celebrate the 2nd birthday of this little firecracker, Violet.

This party was all about Dumbo. Have you seen the movie? I borrowed it from the library for my children to view before the party. Wow! It's been forever since I've seen that movie and I had forgotten about a lot of it. Like, how Dumbo drinks wine and gets drunk or when the black crows are all smoking cigars. That all must have slipped my mind.

Anyway, Heather made another fabulous cake right down to the cake topper. Amazing isn't it? I wish I had her artistic abilities.

A circus wouldn't be complete without popcorn.

The popcorn was a huge hit with the children. I know because there was popcorn all over the house when we left.

Nutter Butters, cake pops, and a little vintage elephant were also part of this amazing, sugar-high spread for the children.

Of course no party would be complete without cookies made by Kel. These Dumbo cookies were fabulous!

Heather even made this adorable Dumbo bunting. Not a single detail was over looked. 

The children were all surprised when this guest showed up.

Violet felt a little safer in her dad's arms.

Rachel, on the other hand, loved helping out.

Justin was feeling a little "ill" so he needed to be checked out with Eisley's help.

It turns out that he was full of worms and bugs.

Rebecca and Eisley even helped do a little chicken dance.

Violet finally warmed up to Coconut the Clown when she was given a little pom pom. She promptly went around shaking her magic pom pom dust on everyone.

Cake time!!

While the cake was pretty great, Violet was more into her popcorn.

Kel insisted that I stop taking photos of the back of her head, so we thought a group shot would be better.

With all the goodies these children had already received they also went home with their very own copy of Dumbo. As always we had a fantastic time. My entire family, including my Lutheran Stud, all crashed in bed by 8:30PM that night. Now that's a sign of a good time. :) Thanks letting us join you in celebrating your birthday, Violet!!
