About 3 weeks ago we had a combined birthday party for Grace and Elliot. I let Grace talk me into inviting everyone in her class, thinking only half, at the most would come. There are 25 kids in her class, I think that 21 came. Plus, we invited all of Grace and Elliot's friends from church. That was about another 20 kids. That is over 40 kids, people!! Luckily my mom and dad came up for the party and helped out. I don't know what we would've done without them. It was totally insane. I had great plans of splitting everyone into groups, doing a little rotation of activities. That went out the window after about 5 minutes!! It was all I could do to just make sure no one got injured in the bouncy house! Despite all of the craziness the kids had a GREAT time, and no one was seriously injured! But I will never, repeat NEVER, have a party with that many kids again!! I didn't take the pictures, luckily my mom remembered to grab my camera and snap some shots! We didn't get a picture of the cotton candy machine, but it was a HUGE hit. The kids loved it. Grandpa figured out how to make the cotton candy and served it up to all the kids :)
We made beaded necklaces and bracelts...
We played duck, duck, goose...
how cute is little Gabe concentrating so hard on his necklace :)
We played duck, duck, goose in the bounce house (even Maggie got in on the action!)
We decorated cupcakes...
(Maggie just ate the candy, every time I turned around she was shoving more candy in her mouth!)
Check out how dirty this little angel is...she had such a great time!
More cupcake decorating...
Grace with a couple of her presents, she got a ridiculous amount of presents...
Elliot with some of his presents...
Grandma and Grace at the end of the night, plumb tuckered out!!

What a great party!!! I love the cupcake decorating idea. Our bouncehouse had to be cancelled because it rained (wasn't raining during the party) and the people didn't want to bring it out in the rain. We found out two hours before the party was to start, it made me so mad!!
Wow, you are a crazy super fun mom and dad!! I had 6-7 kids here for Jack's birthday party and it was insane. Mia's going to get a family party this year I think. Well, she'll probably talk me into a party probably. Glad mom and dad were there to help.
lol at Gabe. He's always got his tongue out when he's concentrating.
