A very classy party

Yesterday we received a huge donation from a generous supporter. Produce and enrichment, oh my! One of the boxes contained decorations for Halloween/Jamie’s birthday set for a couple of weeks from now, while one of the other boxes was a massive collection of black and white themed decor. Of course it seemed right to throw an impromptu classy black and white party today!

Volunteers Lynn, Patti, and Alex (not pictured) helped prepare the party in the kitchen. They made a plum and banana smoothie to go in black plastic champagne flutes and zebra striped paper cups. Also included in the party forage: clementines, pomegranate, coconut, peanuts, and chow.

The elaborate party setup included streamers, paper chains, piñatas, and personalized gift bags. There was even a black and white haired troll for Foxie!

In honor of the black and white theme I edited a few of the photos to fit the mood. Others I left in the original color format.

Burrito had multiple cups of smoothie:

Missy got in on the smoothie action as well.

She also managed to claim the black cat piñata.web_Missy_cat_pinata_gh_aw_IMG_5290

Jamie enjoyed most of her party from the comfort of the fire hose hammock.

Foxie grabbed her new troll doll right away.

Annie found several cardboard rolls stuffed with paper and chow.

Jody was victorious with her coconut haul.

And this is a photo of Negra. I promise she got plenty of party treats. It just seemed like the best photo to finish off this very classy blog post.

    What a celebration! The black and white party theme is excellent and I think your black and white photos are the perfect touch Anna. Well done. This looks like a very fun and festive celebration, and ending with Negra, and that sweet look of satisfaction on her face, is perfect!

    Took some time to celebrate
    Just one day out of life
    It would be, it would be so nice.”

    What a generous gift for the chimps . A lot of love went into putting that party together. Love those gift bags and that black-and-white hair troll doll. It looks like Foxie knew it was meant for her. Beautiful pictures. That picture of Negra is like a studio portrait.
