The Big Birthday Barter

I love a good trade.  When no money has to exchange and both people get something they want, it’s a good deal in my book.  So I was super excited to participate in my first balloon gig barter for Sylvia’s birthday party.  I had contacted Heather Mansfield of Music Together to see if she would be available to do a little sing-along for Sylvia’s 2nd birthday party this year.  Unfortunately, the date I picked was also the weekend of her son’s Ian’s birthday party.  Bummer, right?  Heather was actually looking for some birthday party entertainment for Ian’s party and when I joked that maybe he’d like balloons, she said, “Actually, that’s a great idea!”

Heather and I coordinated the parties so that I could come do Ian’s Train-Themed-But-Eventually-Became-Pirate-Themed party on Saturday and then she would come do Sylvia’s Music-Themed party on Sunday.  A perfect trade!

Here are some fun pictures from both parties.  It was a great weekend of birthday fun for everyone!
