Minnie Mouse 3rd Birthday

Ava's birthday isn't until March 20th, but since we will have our hands full with a 10 day old baby, I wanted to have a little early birthday celebration to make her feel special. She wanted her party to be a Minnie Mouse themed party this year. We invited just a few of her closest friends that we see all the time and I kept things really simple.

Here is the birthday girl all dressed and ready for her party! (Thanks again to Gigi and B-pop for the Minnie Mouse dress and ears from Disneyworld!)

It's hard to believe that my little munchkin is going to be 3!

She couldn't wait till Daddy got home so she could open her present from us before her friends arrived.

Birthday banner (gotta love the cricut!!)

Minnie Mouse wreath

Minnie Mouse cupcakes that Amy helped me make

Since the party was at 4 on a Friday I just served fruit and cupcakes. Easy!

We got her some new princess accessories since she is obsessed with all things princess and I knew her friends would want to play dress up when they came over. (Believe it or not these are actually the first dress-up/princess items we have bought her. All the rest has come from family)

Daddy came home with some daffodils for his princess

Margaret, Ava, and Brinley sporting thier polka dots

Even Aunt Alli came dressed in red and black

Singing Happy Birthday

Opening presents

Love this one of Brinley all decked out!

Ava got a pink leotard/tutu and some ballet slippers from Alli and it is now her new favorite dress up item. She even sleeps in it! The bday girl requested that I put on the Wiggles so that they could dance. Friends, dressing up, cupcakes, dancing to the Wiggles......I hadn't seen her that happy in a long time! She was on cloud 9!

The party favors were some Mickey and Minnie Mouse coloring pages with markers so they all took a break from dancing to color.

Probably our last family of 3 picture


The party was so much fun and very little stress for me. Thanks to our besties for helping us celebrate Ava's birthday!
