Cirque Baby

These Cirque De Soleil toys have really started to catch on with the birthday gift/baby gift buying crowd. They are based on characters from the very popular Cirque De Soleil shows and the line consists of plush dolls and animals, puzzles, balls and other fun, colorful and stimulating toys that the kids (and several adults) just love. And who can blame them? They really make great gifts and you can be sure to have the most unique gift at the party!

Will Vance's Birthday

Little Will Vance had a birthday party last week (April 26th) and I was invited to facepaint and read a story at the party. The theme was pirates and so I got to dress up (see above: me with the birthday boy)...I love theme parties!

All of the kids had such a good time and Will got out of it with lots of "loot"...no plundering required...LOL! Will's mommy Anne is a great hostess...I think she got to have some fun too though...which makes the hostessing all the better. Here are just a few of the pictures I snapped while helping out with the celebration.

Here are a couple samples of my work...

Carter looks the part! Here he is during the "treasure hunt" that the kids went on around the neighborhood...where they found goodies like the ones you see here on Carter.
I think most everyone at the party had on Crocs! Yay! This is a picture I took right outside of the trampoline entrance...it was just so funny...good advertising though!
