Here Ye! Here Ye!

I've said it before, but I'll say it again. Birthdays are a BIG DEAL!  Rio's party wasn't any exception. 

Remember the party idea that stemmed from the following conversation...

"Mom the small wooden sword is only twenty dollars," Rio pleaded.
"Only...twenty dollars? I can make you that sword for one dollar," I stated the obvious.

Well...after 4 months of planning, an 18 foot long table, 25 gold plates with lids, 25 goblets, 1 dragon pinata, 6 capes, 15 halos, 1 cake, 1 castle bounce house, 1 dragon bounce house, 20 medieval props, over 150 yards of fabric, and of course 24 wooden swords later... it all came to together.


 
The King and a few of his Royal Subjects

It was a party fit for a King!

  13. No problem...I appreciate your comments.

    When I made Rio's royal invitations, and before I posted this, I did some research, and apparently it's up for debate. I went with "here" instead of "hear" because it was a summons to come to a place, not a summons for people to listen. So when posting the blog I used the same wording that was on the invites.

    I could still be wrong, though. Great find. I was surprised no one else asked about this.
