Jocelyn's Rainbow Birthday

We went with a rainbow theme for Jocey's 4th birthday. She is 4! How crazy is that?! Anyway, thanks to Pinterest, I had some great inspiration of what to do and how to decorate. We invited all of Jocey's friends (from preschool and church) and most of them came. Yep, there were 14 little kids in our house...at the same time. We enlisted my in-laws help and some of the parents stayed too, thankfully. It was a little crazy but we all had a great time. Take a look.

We had a rainbow ceiling made from table cloths, a balloon rainbow along our mantle, a rainbow pompom garland under our counter, a rainbow sign, and even the food and cake were made into rainbows.

The kids played "Pin the Cloud on the Rainbow," a spontaneous balloon toss game, and did a "Rainbow Walk" (like a cake walk but instead of winning cake, they won a little toy or candy, and because we're awesome and fair, we made sure everyone won).

After the games, we had cake and ice-cream and opened presents. Needless to say, Jocey got spoiled. And to end the party, the kids got to take home a cute little rainbow goodie bag with some toys and candy. It was a good day.

The next day was Jocey's actual birthday so she opened presents from us and Grandpa and Grandma Brough in the morning before church and then we had family come over for dinner and rainbow cupcakes and ice-cream and more present opening later that night. We love living close to so much family and are so happy they can celebrate with us.
