Cowboys and Pony Rides

     I planned a Cowboy themed birthday party last week for my nephew's 4th birthday. I started with 99 cent cowboy hats and went from there. I love party planning and pinterest has tons of ideas that are crafty and frugal.

     We used a piece of cut burlap as a tablecloth. I borrowed some child sized cowboy boots and western stars from a friend to decorate the table. The rope name sign was made from $5 rope from walmart, a piece of blue burlap and an old cardboard box.

     My sister got a great deal on this barrel tea dispenser, unfortunately it leaked so we just used it as an ice bucket. The adults drank their tea from mason jars while the kids had barrel shaped hugs to drink.

The Birthday Boy

     All of the kids received a cowboy hat and bandana as they arrived. It had started storming outside right as the party began so we ate hot dogs, sang the birthday song, opened presents, and had cupcakes inside. As soon as we handed the kids the cupcakes the rain stopped so we were able to go outside for pony rides.

     Although the rain was a damper, I still think that the party was a success!
