Rowan's 3rd Birthday Party...

...was Minnie Mouse themed! I will admit, I chose the theme, and she had no problem with it at all. I found cute red and black Minnie stuff online (etsy.com, an obsession of mine) so I went with it! Turned out pretty cute, although I was a bit sad that we couldn't decorate much outside because it was a bit too breezy. But oh well. I was just thrilled it didn't rain!

That being said, the weather was perfect but a bit hot and humid. But it was better than rain and being stuck inside. Especially since we finally decided to go ahead and purchase the inflatable water slide for the kids to play with. I went back and forth for a few days, and in the end, it was worth it. And I think it will pay for itself over the next few years! (If anyone is interested in purchasing one, I might have an extra one, long story)
We played some "Pin the bow on Minnie". I would have to say that Amelia was the winner! She covered up Josh's bow, but I am pretty sure he cheated. Amelia put her's in that spot fair and square.
Then we sang Happy Birthday and had some cupcakes, adorned with Minnie and Mickey ears! (Yes I made them all!)
Then, the indestructable homemade pinata! Made by Ed. And made for he-man or she-man to break. But Amelia (yes, again) sure put a dent in that thing. And the rest of the kids helped out afterwards.
Then came a ton of awesome presents. Spoiled once again! 
And the little brother! Complete with his Mickey shirt! Rowan had a Minnie shirt that was similar, but she had it soaked within minutes, so we were showing off the Minnie suit sooner than expected. No biggie. Of course Eddie was spoiled by many in attendance! Got to meet his Great Grandma Audrey for the first time too.
Great Grandma Goldie visited Neenah for the first time too! 
Can't believe I got in 2 pictures today! Usually all the pictures are of the kids! Here is Andi (due at end of August with a girl), myself, Crystal and Jennie!
The party was a hit! I think everyone had a good time, hopefully everyone didn't melt! Rowan got a ton of nice things, and had lots of fun with her friends!

You did great! The party was adorable and Amelia had tons of fun. That bag of pinata candy is never ending I swear.

And my kid didn't freak out! Yippee! But it did make me miss having you living closer to us!
