Birthday Parties in my youth

I've been scanning in some old photos and found a few from birthday parties when I was young. It is fun to see all the girls wearing dresses and also many wearing party hats. Some of the games we played at the parties were..."Pin the tail on the donkey"..."Spin the bottle"....and there was another one that we played where you knelled on a chair, leaning over the back, and then held a closepin by your nose and tried to drop it into a quart mason jar. You had 5 or so closepins and the one who got the most in won. Brings back some happy memories of simpler times.


Jan 1966.....6th Birthday.
1969

I don't know the year on this one...but check out the "Donkey on the curtains", the pop bottle to play spin the bottle, and the chair to drop the closepins.
