The Great Gavini's Magic Show


The Great Gavini is my sweet little Chimp that loves magic, extra pickles and ketchup on everything.
For his 8th Birthday-he wanted a magic show mixed with tie dye, rainbows and sequins. Okay, okay, I am kinda lying about the sequins-those were my idea;) You know Glitta Mama needs to see shiny things.

The weather is NY is chilly-so we partied indoors for the most part. Clearly, I am neither a stylist nor photographer~just a Mama that loves to see her son smile with joy and celebrate with his besties. We had such a beautiful day. Abracadabra awesomeness.

He amazed the crowd.
He sat on his special magic carpet when he was done

note to self: if you let kids drink fruit punch, eat popcorn and inhale candy in your basement,
it will look like an after circus scene when they leave....dirty.

I cannot tell you enough how much awesome this party is. I scrolled and scrolled and scrolled and it just got more and more awesome. The Great Gavini is lucky to have a mom like you. This party is filled with love for that little man.

Donna said...

Love it! You did such a fabulous job. It looks like he had fun time. Love the bling sticks with the donut holes. I should do that next time...

Capture Our Lives said...

Explosion of awesomeness!!! Great attention to every detail! That sequined table cover is to-die-for. Is it fabric? I am doing a gold sequin fabric for a round tablecloth and with the dimensions struggling a bit. But, you really did put on a show and demonstrate love for a theme your kid loved. Genius!

Craft That Party said...

My jaw has been on the floor and I have caught 2 flies. I have looked through the pictures 3 times. I will go back for more. It's like chocolate, and I can't get enough. When Gavin turns 9 I am going to buy a plane ticket. Yes, I am inviting myself. I'm a pug party addict. Your are the Amazing Pugini.
