"Oh TWOdles!"-- a mickey party!

In mid January, we had a special Mickey Mouse birthday party for little Lucas! He absolutely adores the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse as well as his Mickey plush he got for Christmas. When I was asking him what kind of party he wanted in the weeks leading up to his birthday, he wavered back and forth between Mickey and Cars. Mickey won, mostly because this Mama already believes her baby is growing up too fast! ;) Sorry for the picture overload, but we had such a fun day!

yummy favors

sweet little place settings


gifts beginning to pile up

the craft table

subway art with some mickey sayings as well as some of lucas' sayings that are special to our family

the "cake"

boys excitedly looking out the window as daddy puts together the play tunnels

a little pre-party show
(don't worry--he's not standing as close to the tv as the picture makes it look like!)

checking out the balloons

this boy is soooooo excited at this point

just look at that sweet face!

some red, yellow, and black mini fruit skewers
(the platter is for the cinnamon rolls that were still in the oven!)

we're ready for friends to come!

michael is the first to arrive! what great buddies these three are!

audrey arrives too, and the kids can't wait to dig into the cinnamon rolls and fruit

YUM!

baby Elle enjoys playing with the balloon strings

lucas goes for the frosting

craft time! mickey stickers and coloring books

daddy helps--getting the stickers off the page is the tricky part

michael enjoyed playing with the garbage trucks instead!

"i got one!"

mommy had confiscated mickey for party decor, so lucas is happy to have him back!

lucas opens one of his favorite gifts to date--the Wall-E movie
(thanks, uncle josh and aunt michelle!)

excited about a mini truck and digger from meme and papa

this card plays the mickey mouse clubhouse theme song! he could have listened to this the rest of the day!

and as if icing coated cinnamon rolls weren't sugar enough...
time for CAKE!!!

he's a pro at blowing out the candles!

for some reason, he wasn't sure how to eat the cupcake. nevermind the fact that he had just eaten an iced cinnamon roll that had a similar shape. the cupcake threw him for a loop. he goes in mouth-first.

now he's got the hang of it!!!

oh yeah! after finishing this one off, he started pointing to which one he wanted next! silly boy!

i think he's doing a little happy dance here

i think they all enjoyed their cake

here's the tunnel system...it's a little lumpy because there are already some kids (and some trucks) hiding in there! i can't even begin to tell you how gorgeous of a day it was for january--just perfect!!!

lucas found some balls and is watching all the other kids run around

going over to check things out

anthony and michael know how to have some fun!

elle kicked back and relaxed in the swing. chewing on the strap was the best part of the day for her, i think!

michael is all smiles

anthony is never far from his dump truck

audrey takes a ride on the big purple dinosaur

michael plays peek a boo

lucas makes his way up the big ladder

these two never slow down!

michael shows off his great swing

sweet little audrey...once she got inside the tunnels, she didn't want to get out!

maybe, just maybe, the birthday boy is ready for a nap

i know papa is!!! ;)
happy 2nd birthday, lucas my love! your mama sure enjoyed making your day super special!
see ya real soon!

and last but not least, a little song for the birthday boy!!!
