Michael's 3rd Birthday Party... For Realz!

I found the pictures! The memory stick was in my diaper bag the whole time. I've checked there 237 times already and this time I finally found it!

Michael has been three years old for a month now. We celebrated last month with a Mickey Mouse birthday party! He could watch Mickey Mouse Clubhouse for hours on end, so he was so excited about this theme!

Some friends of ours let us have the party at their house and take advantage of their pool. It's hard having a birthday in July because our house isn't big enough to host lots of people and it's no fun being inside anyway! Michael loves being outside, but there needs to be a water source! We also had access to the air conditioning for the old folks (ahem....Dad) that couldn't take the heat! Isaac liked the air conditioning too!

I make cupcakes for his birthday every year. My mom helped me this year! I wish I could make amazing cakes, but I still haven't mastered that skill. I enjoy finding some way to make them extra cute! :)

Have you had the Ghiradelli chocolate cupcakes? They are amazing! Michael thinks so too!

Notice Michael's mouse ears. I made those as party favors for all the kids. The girls had a Minnie Mouse bow on top! I also made a Minnie Mouse bow for myself!

We had so much fun swimming with our friends and opening his presents! Michael still talks about his Mickey Mouse pool party and all the presents he got!

Michael has become quite the fish this summer....he loves being in the water!

Isaac got in on the Mickey Mouse fun, but couldn't stay up long enough to party with us!

Happy (late) birthday Michael! We love you so much! I can't believe you are now THREE!
