The delight of a birthday party is over in a mere tease of a round or two of the hour hand. One of childhood's greatest joys, is over so soon after it has begun—So, we stretch out the thrill of our children's once-a-year celebrations. Our birthdays are also celebrated in the making of the celebration. The days—even months—leading up to the birthday party are filled with the birthday child's creative plans shaping into a special celebration with their very own hands and imaginations. We spend days together—making together—party decorations that fulfill those dreamed up by the children for their chosen birthday theme.
With more than a few children here, we have celebrated so many birthdays in so many ways—Some as simple as a very first birthday celebrated with our family over homemade ice cream. This birthday time, one of our young ones has chosen a circus party theme with our handmade circus party printables. The bundles of printables she made above wait for the the party. The birthday magic is being enjoyed each day as we create the circus banners with the ribbons she has selected, as she customizes her own circus party invitations and straw toppers, and as she dreams up and creates ideas for making our own home into an inexpensive, creative, homemade, big top circus party celebration.
The family is making this celebration special for the birthday child together. A young brother is eager to be the circus party clown. Even our littlest little one, who has yet to complete her first journey around the sun, joins in the makery—she keeps cheerful at play with colorful yarn below. Another sister was using the yarn to make handmade pom poms for the birthday girl to place on her own party hats top photo. See her own tutorial for the easiest way to make pom poms if you would like to make your own.
Everyone joins in the creativity and memory making.
With any life milestone event, the preparing and planning is as delightful as the day being waited for. These party-making moments will be treasured as much as the celebration itself.
