This year for Abigail's birthday party we decided to throw a Carnival. Seeing that her birthday falls smack dab in the middle of November, you never quite know what you're going to get when it comes to Texas weather. Thankfully, the weather was perfect for our Carnival. Sunny and almost 85 degrees, we couldn't have asked for better weather to go along with our outside festivities. Not only were there 2 bounce houses to entertain all of our little guests but various games were set up throughout the yard to help create even more of a carnival-type atmosphere. From Bean Bag Toss to Pin the Nose on the Clown to Face Painting, Abigail and her friends spent most of the afternoon running around handing over tickets in hopes of filling their treat bags with lots of prizes and loot. Of course a Carnival is only as good as its food and what Carnival would be complete without corn dogs, popcorn, soft pretzels, and everyone's favorite...cotton candy!

For those of you who were able to join us in celebrating Abigail's 3rd birthday: Thank you for Clowning around with us. We look forward to celebrating many more birthdays with you in the future!
