We had Ava Kate's birthday party on her birthday. It was Bama's off weekend so apparently several people had the same idea and there were several parties/showers that day! We had the party at 11 which turned out to be a great time. Ava Kate took a nap and slept right up to party time and was in a great mood...which the child is rarely in a bad mood but she knew it was her special day! :) Also, the guests that had 10am parties were still able to come.
When I knew Ava Kate would be born in October...I immediately thought about doing this theme. Of course, pinterest really helped my ideas come together! I wanted it to be like a mini fall festival with the old fall festival games. I bought a lot of things after Halloween/Thanksgiving last year when it was on sale and then I got to borrow a lot of things. A sweet man even gave Riley a trailor load of hay for me to use! :) I also knew I would be using a lot of burlap and actually found it on Ebay.
