Happy 6th Birthday Carsyn!

Happy Birthday Carsyn!

I know I say it every year but I truly can't believe how fast these kids are growing up. Carsyn just celebrated her 6th Birthday with a Garden Party theme at Ben Franklin Crafts. We initially were going to have her party at home but since we just had Hayden's bday at home we decided why not do a craft at Ben Franklin. Carsyn and I had talked about painting flower pots and potting a flower in it at her party. I had brought it up to Ben Franklin and the event planner took the idea and ran. She came up with this cute idea involving a terra-cotta plate and multiple pots. It was quite a bit of painting for them but they all seemed to have a good time.
Before everyone arrived they got Carsyn's hand print and signature for their Birthday board. After taking these first two photos I realized my battery was dying. I managed to take a few other photos before it completely died. Luckily, one of mom's had her camera and was able to get some great photos. Thanks Lindsey!

Here is a picture of the setup and the kids just getting started.

Tony helping Hayden and Alyvia. It was a bit much for the little ones but they all created their own special designs.

Carsyn's friends from her class, Alexis and Teagan.

Alexis and Teagan working hard and all smiles!!
Cousin Nina and Bryn just getting started on theirs.Once they were all painted the kids took them to another table where they put moss on their plates. Here is Alexis and Kailee finishing theirs up.
The finished product. Well sort of, while Carsyn was opening presents I was putting flowers in the biggest pot, with the help of Melissa and Brandy. Thanks guys!
So cute!

Time for cupcakes. Here is Carsyn looking shy while everyone sang Happy Birthday to her!!
