Mickey Mouse Birthday

 Kemper's 3rd Birthday

April 7, 2012

My mom, sisters, and I love to throw parties, especially themed parties.

Kemper has been obsessed with Mickey Mouse, so it was our perfect opportunity to throw him a Mickey Mouse Birthday!

I decided to go with the classic black, red, & yellow Mickey Mouse colors. I was inspired after I found red/white and black/white polka dotted wrapping paper on sale at Hobby Lobby after Christmas.

We had the party again at our neighborhood clubhouse. Lots of family and friends & it was awesome. I have five million pictures to prove it! ;)

 K's cake and candy table.
 I was so happy with his cake this year. It was so good and they were able to make it with very little fondant It came from my favorite bakery that happens to be 45min. away. Thankfully my awesome  mom was able to pick it up for me.

What's a party with out lots of junk food?
My sister made some Mickey crispy treats, and I made some chocolate Mickey lollipops. There were also cherry sours, red and black sixlets candy, and white chocolate dipped marshmallows with Mickey shaped sprinkles to add to your sugar high.

oh yeah we also had a cotton candy machine, I think all the other parents hate me now ;)

I made these picture cut outs so everyone could be Mickey and Minnie!

A few activities to keep the kids busy indoors.

A little fun outdoors too.
 The bounce house was a hit, even with my husband. I caught him in there on several occasions.

If the bounce house wasn't enough, the kids could work off some of that sugar on the playground beside it.

Time for food!!
Hot dog bar for some hot diggity dogs!
 Pete's Pasta, Goofy's goldfish, & Pluto's popcorn,
fruit and cheese.

Clarabelle Cow's Chicken nuggets, and Daisy's deviled eggs.

Let them eat cake!

Some of the decorations and favor bags I also made.
The kids got to take home Mickey Mouse coloring books, stickers, and a few other Disney related toys.

 They also got their own set of ears!

Family and friends

I guess we were having so much fun we forgot about the Pinata I had bought.
We noticed it after all the guests had left. We let Kemper and his cousin Nolan have a go at it and pull all the strings. It was like Halloween all over again.

 Thanks to all that came out to celebrate with us.
Happy Birthday!!
