Step Right Up!!

My sons 2nd birthday was yesterday and we celebrated by taking him out to dinner with the family. We had such a good time that we even forgot it was a Thursday night and stayed out till 9pm (which is not too late but for us it is... oh the glories of getting older and being a parent ) a lot later than we should have.

Which brings me to the next topic BIRTHDAY PARTY!!! Last year Joaquin's birthday party theme was Cookie Monster. That boy LOVED cookie monster from the day he saw the blue stuffed animal of his at Target. This year i wanted to do something fun and colorful...so...we are doing a Circus theme!!! Oh the possibilities of Circus decor are endless but some of those things can get a bit pricey.

I will start off by showing you guys the goody bags....

Most of the stuff i got was from the dollar store. Here is a list of the things i put in the goody bags..

Dollar Tree Popcorn Container (2x1)
Candy
Mini Popcorn bags
Toys (Dollar Tree)
Tickets to add extra decor (Dollar Tree)
Straw (Dollar Tree)
Pencil (Dollar Tree)

I put the big bulky candy at the bottom to support the candy on top.

My lovely sister and I stayed till 1am finishing these up. The final step to finish these are wrapping them with clear cellophane ( I will post pictures up when that is done).

Next time i will post the rest of my party decor and where I got them...ohhhh and my DIY invitations :)

Till next time ..hope you all have a great weekend!
