one of the major things they wanted was a photo backdrop, so we drew a
simple line drawing of circus tents on a roll of white backdrop paper and hung
it between the curtains in front of the window. it was dark by the time the party
started so we set up a spotlight off to the side and it gave a perfect circus tent feel.
we set up an old wood crate to stand on and my brother-in-law made an
oversized barbell out of styrofoam for strongmen photos.
my sister has a major sweet tooth and went all out with the circus treats
that included cupcakes, mini cotton sticks, popcorn and a candy bar
with classics like cherry sours, jelly beans and circus peanuts.

the birthday girls nora and sophia
they included a couple games for the kids like this one
and made a point to involve the kids in the prep work beforehand.
it not only kept them busy, but they enjoyed wrapping all of these
cans and contributing to their party.
