Valentine's Day 2015 {Cupid's Carnival}
With Valentine's Day landing on a Saturday this year I wanted to do something a little more fun for the whole family.
...and thankfully, this didn't disappoint.
I wanted this whole thing to be a surprise. So I didn't set it up until Skyler took the boys out of the house later in the evening (which meant no natural light for good pictures...boo. That will make or break a good photo, Oh well, it's documented, right?). The boys walked into the house so surprised and excited to start the festivities.
Fun little fact for ya. I have this little love for crush drinks. I just think they are so cute and colorful. I bought some for Skyler and I's very first Valentine's Day together. From then on out it's been a tradition. We always have crush soda on Valentine's Day and our anniversary (and those are the only times we buy them).
So while I was at the store picking them up, I had this random thought that they totally reminded me of a ring toss game at a carnival. Dun dun dun...And there you have it. Cupid's Carnival was created. I wandered around and picked up a few cheap little items for prizes and created the rest with things I had around the house.
Our Carnival consisted of: Ring Toss, Tumbling Towers, Ball Toss, Cake Walk, Guessing Station and of course...a Photo Booth and Prize Booth. We earned tokens at every game and used them for the prize booth at the end of the night.
I felt like Preston and Wesley actually got into Valentine's Day this year. They drew Skyler and I multiple cards throughout the day and kept delivering them to us telling us how much they loved us. It was pretty cute.
Proof my lighting was terrible {The popcorn was all cute and covered in pink chocolate}...not like what is pictured above :)
The boys had a blast.
They keep asking if we can have another carnival...everyday.
