Oh, TWOdles!

Welcome to the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse hot-diggity-dog 2nd birthday party!

My 2 year old Mouseketeers - Stokes, Ryan and William

As you can guess, we went with a Mickey theme for the boys' birthday party and kept it pretty small and low-key. I lucked out with getting to borrow a lot of the party decor and we put together a really simple menu and some fun friends and voila - it's partytime!

Cute Mickey centerpiece and red placemats

Balloon vase

More balloons and a Mickey canvas art piece :)

Happy Birthday Banner

it was ready, just in case!)

Cupcakes!

Mickey made out of Oreos

The favors - Mickeys with M&Ms inside and Mickey lollipops

Cute Mickey door wreath


The back porch


More paper lanterns





Toys set up on the patio


The BOUNCE HOUSE!!!
The bounce house was the boys' birthday present this year. It was a pretty big hit at the party and I was so glad that we have it! It inflates really easily and I think we may be able to set it up inside for rainy days or this winter when it's too cold to play outside.

It's time to party. Oh, toodles...or as we like to say "oh, TWOdles"!!!

Hayes accidentally unplugged the bounce house while
Brady was in it and it started deflating. It was so funny!
Luckily it takes less than 1 min to inflate, so no worries!

Caroline!
