McCarthy Adventures: Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse!

I had such a fun time crafting and creating yummy Mickey shaped goodies for Keller's 2nd birthday party. Along with a fun Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party, we started several new birthday traditions in our family including a birthday donut for breakfast on the actual birthday, a birthday book with a note from Mommy and Daddy in lieu of a card, and whatever the birthday boy/girl wants for dinner out on the night of their actual birthday (This year it was PIZZA…no complaints here). We also got to bring in a birthday treat for Keller's class. This was super exciting for me as my birthday is in July and I never got to have the class party! (I really enjoy living vicariously through Keller if you can't tell :) See below for pictures of all the fun!

Keller enjoying his birthday donut the morning of his 2nd birthday. So hard to believe that he is TWO! Where did my baby go?

The morning of Keller's "Party Day". This time enjoying a chocolate covered Mickey rice crispie treat for breakfast. I know, chocolate for breakfast 2 days in a row, but you only turn 2 once right???

I can't take credit for the creation of the cute door sign. Daddy saw it on Etsy and had to have it…yep I said Daddy ;)

Mickey food table. Looks like it didn't all make it to the table before the picture was taken, but you get the idea. We had Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed food… Hot Diggity Dogs, Goofy's Goldfish, O'Toodles Tots, Daisy's Delicious Fruit, Strawberry Mini-Ade, Goofy's Garden Veggies, and Pluto's PBJs (shaped like Mickey of course!)

My prized cake! I am keeping the tradition of a Mommy-made birthday cake every year. Though I'm realizing this is only going to get harder! But I surprised myself this year with the Mickey cake. Not too shabby…

Keller being silly in his fancy birthday shirt.

Decorating Mickey cookies! I found that this was definitely more of a "girl" activity than a "boy" one. The girls sat and decorated and talked quietly, I was pretty amazed. I think Keller (and Landon. probably not by choice) were the only boys to decorate. The birthday boy ended up just stabbing his cookie with the icing until it was in a bunch of pieces :) I'll keep that in mind for future parties for baby girl!
