Peppa Pig Party

Our little Lily is obsessed with the children's programme "Peppa Pig" so I decided that the theme for her 3rd birthday party would be just that AND an added detail is that Peppa Pig has a little brother George which was perfect for my combined birthday party idea.  Poor little Zac doesn't have a group of baby friends his age so if we were to throw 2 parties, I'd merely be inviting the same people over to the house twice.  So why not kill two birds with one stone and throw one memorable party for them both?

The entertainment for the day was a mobile petting zoo called Zoo To You. They specialise in little baby animals so we had little chicks, piglets, a lamb, goat, small sheep, rabbits, guinea pigs and even a small little rat!  They arrived early in the morning to set up and were more than ready for the onslaught of kids that were to arrive at 10h00.  Lily got to play with the little animals before everyone arrived while I set up all the eats and decor...
Everyone seemed to have loads of fun with all the animals - some kids didn't even exit the little temporary animals' home structure at all! We managed to get quite a few lovely photographs of our precious Lily and Zac which I am thrilled about!  See below...
 All in all, Lily loved her party and had loads of fun touching the animals, jumping on her jumping castle, playing with her friends, blowing out her candles and opening up presents. Zac slept a little into the party but once I'd woken him up he had a lovely time too, also touching the animals and generally crawling about and keeping himself entertained.

As per usual, preparing a little party and tidying up afterwards takes its toll so I was more than happy to put my feet up once both children were in bed and everyone had left.  It was a wonderful morning and I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the enjoyment on my little babies' faces. Until next year again...

  1. The mobile petting zoo is such a good idea! And yes, I agree, good idea to combine the two parties for now while it would have been the same friends anyway!
