Happy Birthday Harry!

I'm late posting, but last week we celebrated Harry's birthday!  Shew, I'm still recovering from it!  We had an amazing attendance of people, so I'm very grateful for that!  We had 150 Kids and 75 Adults show up, which is astounding.  Below are pics from everything we did.  On to the next party!

My favorite part is the giant chess set which we were able to borrow.  Don't you love it???  Our inside games were the chess set, bingo, pin the sock on Dobby and musical chairs.  Click here to get the free bingo game which is absolutely magical!

Here is the front row of our musical chairs, which the kids didn't want to stop playing.

I was a little scared to attempt drawing Dobby, but I had fun with it!


Outside we had three games, giant connect four, giant bubbles and giant bowling.  Aren't the characters adorable on the bowling pins below?  My character made them for me and I just love them!!!

Originally this craft was a bookmark, but I wanted to make it bigger.  So, we enlarged it!  Everyone really seemed to like it, and the good thing is we do have plenty left over.  I think that everyone didn't realize that they could make one of each, so that was my fault that I didn't clarify that.

This craft was the only one the kids didn't seem to like, even though I loved it!

We had one other craft which was the most popular and it was our button maker!  We had all the house buttons to choose from and then some smaller buttons that had really cute sayings on them.  Unfortunately I didn't take pictures but our machine is super easy to use and everyone loved it!


Pictured below are the food we had and needless to say we run out of everything very quickly!  We do have a fabulous popcorn machine and we went through five bags of popcorn.  After that we called it quits on the popcorn.  We did make two 2-liters of butterbeer, four batches of Kool-Aid and all the food pictured below.  We had some hungry people, but that's okay!


I did make two of these, but everyone loves cupcakes!  I have to say, the pull-apart cupcake cakes are super easy, they just take a lot of icing to cover.

This was my favorite thing to make and very simple to mold.  I am definitely going to make something like for our October party.  Simple ingredients, little prep time and the kids went crazy over it!  We did have two of these, so that helped with feeding people.  Also, you can see in the picture that we had chocolate chip cookies and Jelly Belly jelly beans.



My volunteer made the birdcage and the owl.  The owl is from a washcloth, isn't it cute?  To find out how to make him, click here!


I love putting things on the floor, to lead people into the auditorium.  So, what better thing to use than spiders!!!


Well, that's all she wrote.  Professor  Mcgonagall signing off!  Until next time!
