Mickey Mouse Clubhouse 3rd Birthday Party

There was a time when Addison only had eyes for Sesame Street.  We took her to Sesame Place multiple times and each time was like the first time for her.  She couldn't get enough of it.  She squealed  with delight at each character greet and cried crocodile tears when she left.  But somewhere around the end of her 2nd year, she started liking Mickey Mouse.  With the same dedicated she once had to Sesame Street, she now had for Mickey Mouse and Friends.

So it's no surprise that for her 3rd birthday party we had a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse themed birthday party.  This year, I made shirts for all the kids using my Silhouette Cameo. Can we say, love the machine?! Mickey Mouse shirts for the boys and Minnie Mouse shirts for the girls with tutus. This time, her daddy was home. :)


Tutus and shirts for all the girls.  Tutus are seriously so easy to make.  If you've never made one and want to, there are way too many tutorials to list.  Just Google "Tutu tutorial". 


I got a little carried away.  I made names for all the kids.  Probably wouldn't do this again. Very time consuming AND I used wood that was too thick.

   

           

Used the Silhouette Cameo to cut the cupcake holders. Super easy and super fast.  Loved it!

Abby Cadabby & Super Grover

I love birthday parties.  My girls are 2 and 4, so I've had the opportunity to plan a few. The next birthday in our house isn't until June but that hasn't stopped my 2 year old from asking me daily if today is her birthday.

She is also obsessed with Peter Pan.  I totally scored at Target when they had a plethora of Peter Pan items in the their dollar bins.  Yes!  Well, she saw what i purchased and is ready for her birthday, now!

This got me reminiscing about the other parties I've had for my girls.  On that note, I decided to share some of the parties here over the next few days.

Here's the Abby Cadabby and Super Grover Party, Birthday 2 for Addison.  My husband missed the party because he was in Afghanistan, so I tried to compensate by making it as awesome as I could.  I made all the girls Abby Cadabby outfits (I hand cut the felt for the Abby shirts - crazy and time consuming!) and made a Super Grover outfit for our lone boy.  I was feeling very crafty so I even made the gift bags.
