Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Party Details - part 1 (party prep)

So as we sit amid the chaos and piles of party crap that makes my house look like a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse garage sale, we smile as we reflect on the incredible fun, fellowship and blessings that the last 3 years have brought and the celebration of it all this past weekend.

Dear friends and family descended on our home from far far away and from not so far away and helped me get it all together for our Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party...it was exhausting and exhilarating all at one time. In the midst of the party prep, we had a "real" birthday day to celebrate. His smile melts me...he was so blasted excited for it to finally be "his" birthday.

(never mind the no make-up/no hair day I was having. But his smile is too infectious to be squashed by my lack of grooming...after all, we were deep in the weeds of getting ready for the party the next day)

At last, he could open the presents that had been torturing him on the dining room table for nearly two weeks!


But then it was time to get ourselves ready for the BIG shindig the following day

So we decorated...






And a magnificent Sensational Six Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake was made by the best and arguably the most talented sister ever...


The cake is deserving of it's own entry...so it will be revealed next...
Meanwhile, the rest of us played, loved and laughed as party day grew near...
