What's better than a surprise visit from your favorite characters for your 1st birthday? They say a picture is worth a thousand words - and this adorable picture definitely speaks for itself! Doris, from Peabody, MA, booked Costume Characters and More for her daughter Nayline's first birthday party and shared her event story with us.

Doris shared, "Jonathan, Poppy and Branch arrived to my daughters first birthday party on time and ready. My daughter couldn't have been more happy! She wanted Poppy and Branch to carry her, and the kids all enjoyed the music, face painting and balloons. Will definitely book again in the future!"
