Thank you for our Birthday Bash Success!!

Months of planning finally came together yesterday as we celebrated our Biggest Bithday Bash ever here in Barrie!

Momstown has been celebrating all month across Canada for our 5th year and the parties have been amazing!!

It took a lot of work, a lot of hours and a lot of people to make this party a success and I have to say, here in Barrie, our families made the party what it was... a HUGE SUCCESS!!!

I was so pleased to see so many families out to enjoy our day and help us celebrate this milestone.

Moms were lined up early to register and receive their goody bags courtesy of Today's Parent, that were chalk full of great stuff from all of our sponsors!

There was laughter and smiles everywhere and people were getting the full sense of what momstown is all about... we are not a playgroup. we are a community, we are a family, we are MOMSTOWN!

With a full day of activities ranging from crafts and water play, to our Fisher Price Sponsored Play Area, to Face Painting and so much more, there was something for the kids to do no matter where they looked!

We had a very special guest on hand to help us Celebrate! Clifford the Big Red Dog joined us and the kids all loved him! They followed him around, gave hugs and high fives and everyone was sure to get their picture taken! He really made a great party guest!

Our Snack Pack pudding table was a huge hits as literally hundreds of puddings cups were devoured by the kids... and the parents! and our volunteers, including my daught!Yes, we saw you!

The kids lined up patiently with their moms and dads to get their faces painted. It was well worth that wait as they will all tell you the creations were stunning! Colville Creative Events and Entertainment.

There were so many activites going on courtesy of Bouncing Ball Cooperative Nursery School, Oxford Learning Centre (Barrie South), Isagenix with Monica Tankard, Welcome Wagon, Kreative Urban Tribe, Sara-Ashley Creations, Norwex with Sarah MacDonald, Investors Group with Galina Johnson and The Melody in Me!

The kids had a chance to see what Kindermusik is all about with Margot from The Melody in Me. They were able to test out some instruments and have some fun!!!

We had a special visit from Sean from Animal Party and his little animal friends! The kids loved seeing all the creature and getting the chance to pet a lizard!

Our party was quickly coming to an end, but no party is complete without some singing and dancing! Local musician Russ Clayton got the kids up singing and dancing with his interactive music show! The kids loved the chance to get up on stage and be a part of the show!

It was amazing how fast the day went. Time sure flies when you are having fun!!! We thanked all our guests by handing out some amazing prizes... over 20 of them... all thanks to our awesome sponsors.

Thank you again to Today's Parent, Fisher Price, Britax, Melitta Coffee, Con Agra Foods, Scholastic Canada, Kids CBC and Thyme Maternity.
