Guess who will be joining us for this month's party? We are so excited to announce that the Reptile Man will be hanging out with the kiddos and putting on an hour long show! It's been a while since we have had him attend and we couldn't be more thrilled to have him join us again. Who doesn't love holding snakes, alligators, frogs and more! :) Stay tuned for more photos after the party!

We had a fabulous party Sunday at St. Francis Shelter. We celebrated a 15 year old girl as well as 13 and 4 yr old boys! She loved her new guitar, make up and gift card and the boys enjoyed receiving shoes,a jacket, farm toys, gift cards, and basketballs! The Reptile Man was a HUGE hit and put on a spectacular show with lots of interaction with the kids. Smiles and laughs were here to stay! After the reptiles, we celebrated with animal balloons, cake, gifts and goody bags! Thank you to Tammy McCool for the adorable cakes and gifts, and Wynonna Kyle and son for gifts, photos, and lots of help! Thank you also to our balloon man. The children were lined up for an hour to receive such treasures! We appreciate you all! Check out the photos on our Facebook page!
