Ok so I have been so busy with this birthday party and now I am so excited to show you how it turned out!! I do have some bad news though:( My camera batteries died about 20 min into the party. I did bring extras but they must have been used (even though they were with the new ones) because they lasted like 2 pictures then also died. My sister-in-law is suppose to send me some of hers but I am too impatient to wait to show you guys. Maybe I will post again if she has some great pictures to share.
So we did a combined birthday party since their birthdays are 1 week apart. My son is 7 and my daughter is 4. I did this last year with two seperate themes one sports theme and a princess theme. Not this year they are both into bugs so I went with that. We rented out our churches fellowship hall due to the number of guests. I usually do parties at home.

The dessert table
I found this green jewelry holder and used it to display pictures of the kids over the past year.
The drink station and our dragonfly juice (punch) which was just ginger ale and lime hawaiin punch.
The food table
For the tables I kept it pretty simple. I used plastic bugs, rocks and moss covered rocks all from the
Dollar Tree
The only picture of the games :( This is when the second set of batteries bit the dust.
We had 12 kids ages 6-10 and 8 kids ages 3-4.
The older kids played a game called Buggy, Buggy cross my web ( sharks and minnows)
The younger kids made bug antennae headbands all the kids had a bug scavenger hunt with plastic bugs I hid. Over all everyone had a great time!!
I will be linking up at these parties:
