After many candy cane themed posts
(aimed to build up the excitement),
I'm finally ready to share my daughter's
Candy Cane Birthday Party.

First things, first...every party MUST have a photo booth.
That was our first task before the party started.

I hung wrapping paper in the corner for an instant backdrop.
Perfect for the girls to pose.
Next, was a treat making craft.
Candy Cane Marshmallow Dipped Sticks.
An assembly line was laid out on the counter for the girls.
Open candy canes, stick on a marshmallow, dip in chocolate, sprinkle on crushed candies.
When cooled and dried, the girls packaged them up
(4 marshmallow sticks to a bag)
to give to friends and family.
Face the Candy Cane
Begin with a candy cane on your forehead.
Without using your hands, get the candy cane into your mouth.
(Sounds easy enough, right? Ha!)
Tape two candy canes together.
Attach a long piece of string on each end.
Keeping the candy cane level,
place 3 tiny candies on top of the candy cane.
Players wrap the string around their ears.
Starting at their waist level, they must pull the string
(behind their ears)
and bring the candy cane with the candies to their mouth.

their card across the table.
Object is to get the card to 'hang' on the end of the table without falling off.

Talk about challenging games!(There's no way I could go on that game show!)
After games, was gifts and food, followed by cake.
My 12 year old requested pizza and pop.
(I put baby carrots on the table, too...that's just the kind of mom I am.)

And that was just getting the party started!
We then headed to Sky High--the trampoline place.
Jumping, tumbling, flipping fun!
(and thankfully no injuries or lost food!)
