A Simple Circus Birthday

As promised, here are the more detailed photos of my son's 2nd birthday last week!

I tried to keep things fairly simple by using basic streamers and balloons for decoration. I also minimized the "treat table" to just cake, popcorn, and soda. I realize I could have done much more...but he is only 2 and I wanted to spend the majority of the day with him, instead of preparing party extras. (I'll save the more extravagant stuff for when he's older :) 

I baked and decorated the cake the night before (something I would highly suggest doing for any party) while my husband hung most of the streamers. I'ts been a little while since I've stayed up late working on projects, and I must say it was a little more challenging then usual...being 7 months pregnant and all! 

It was fairly difficult decision to make, but I'm glad I went with a colorful "Circus Party" theme!

Don't worry, tutorials for the streamer loop, circus tent cake, and carmel puff-corn are on there way, so stay tuned!
