The Mickey Mouse Birthday Bash

On Saturday the 24th, we hosted Ryan's 2nd birthday party. Although we had hoped that it wouldn't rain and we'd get some of the unseasonably warm temps that we'd experienced the week before - no such luck. It was sprinkling and yucky out for his party. No worries though! We had more than enough to keep 8 toddlers, 2 pre-schoolers, and one kindergartner happy as can be. All in all, it was a great morning. Ryan had fun with his friends...he loved his cake...and he loved opening the presents!

Here are a few pics from the party. The kids (or maybe it was the parents?) loved the frog tent that Ryan got for Christmas from his Aunt Michelle and Uncle Jim. They also LOVED the ball pit that I stored from last year. I thought it would be a bust since the top part had to be cut off ... but it was really the hit of the party.



Cake
I was so lucky and happy to have my parents come up the day before the party to help me bake the cupcakes and the cake for the party. They turned out soooo good! :)

Getting ready to sing "Happy Birthday"

Ryan got a little embarrassed when everyone was standing around singing to him. He didn't quite know what to make of it.

The obligatory lick of the frosting
And following in his mom's footsteps....he loved the frosting!


All-in-all, it was a great day!
