Birthday Parties

We decided to have 2 parties this year. One for the girls and one for Connor. It turned out great. They got to invite their friends and had a great time.

The girls had a princess party that was all girly. Everyone came dressed as princesses, we made tiaras, colored posters of princesses, played "pin Cinderella in her castle window", opened presents, and had cupcakes and ice cream. Dave ended up having to work that day so thankfully Beckee stayed to help out. The girls had a grand time.

Connor had a Mickey Mouse party. He really had a hard time deciding which boy party to do. Pirates, Thomas, Star Wars, or Mickey. In the end, Mickey won out. We had Mickey ears for all the boys, coloring pages, played Disney Bingo and Mickey Snap where the boys won Mickey Mouse puzzles, opened presents, frosted and ate cupcakes with ice cream, and of course, they played with the balloons. It was such a good boy party.
And finally, we had a small party on their actual birthday. I made them waffles with strawberries and whip cream for breakfast and their favorite dinner, spaghetti and breadsticks. We then opened presents and had cake and ice cream. It was so fun. Two more parties to go. One with my family and one with Dave's!
