Bitsy Belle clowns around with Jordan and friends

Bitsy Belle showing Sister Cow a magic trick.

The birthday party started at one O'clock but didn't officially begin until the clown showed up at around 1:30. Upon Bitsy Belle's arrival the shindig swung into full gear as the children witnessed magic tricks, played games and got their faces painted.

The party was at Sister Cow's Nashville home and was primarily an outdoors event held under a shade tree and in the screened in porch. It began with Bitsy Belle's personal brand of clowning around.

The face painting was a big success. Sister Cow was transformed into a ferocious tiger under Bitsy's skillful brush. Other children had a variety of designs painted on their faces including a pirate complete with eye-patch.

Immediately following the clowning around was the opening of birthday presents. Sister Cow greatly appreciated the gifts and thanked each gift giver. After the presents were opened the birthday cake was devoured.

The party was a great success and all in attendance seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves.
