Best Moment
The best moment was just seeing Mason enjoy himself. He rode the Ferris wheel a few times and loved it. He let them paint his nose n get whiskers. The only bad moment or time he cried was when he saw the Mickey character and I can't blame my baby he was kinda of scary! LOL!

Funniest Moment
The funniest moment was Mason's face after he got his nose, whiskers, n ears. He had the biggest smile... It was too cute!

The Ferris Wheel was a big hit! Although it's meant for 8 and under it was still great. My 10yr and her friends were a bit too tall.http://Jammin-jumpers.com

Hi, very cute party! Where did you find the photo stand! Thanks! :)
Veronica P wrote:
Hi Martha, It was a prop from my old job they were getting rid of. I brought it home knowing I would find use for it. So every time I use it I spray paint it the color I want. Thank you!

Where did you get the card board cut outs of the characters that are set up in the yard? Also, what did you use to decorate the punch bowel?
Veronica P wrote:
Hi Kristen, I bought the cardboard cutouts online. I just searched who had them the cheapest and would order from there. For the punch dispenser I used cardboard and just cut out circles n wrapped them with black wrapping paper and did the same with the top of the lid used black wrapping paper.
