As I'm thinking about my daughter's upcoming birthday party I am becoming sentimental. She's going to be four this September. I have had control over all of her birthday parties up to this point. Her first birthday party was all about cupcakes, her second was a barnyard party, and her third was a pink poodle celebration. This year, well, she has a mind of her own. This year we are having a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse party. Don't get me wrong, I love a good character party, but for someone else's kids. I loved coming up with creative and inexpensive ideas for cakes and cookies and decorations with all of her former parties. I loved getting to live out my own birthday dreams through her parties. I already had plans of tea parties and princess picnics. But, alas, the TV wins out. We are doing it up Mickey Mouse style this year. My saving grace for this party was that our local party store was going out of business, so we got all of our supplies for 70% off. I'm sorry party store. I guess from here on out I should be on the look out for going out of business party stores. There's no telling what I'll be looking for next year. Carebears? Dora? Wonder Pets? Oh no, not Wonder Pets!

| This is Aevie's 1st birthday party. It was all about sweets. So much fun! |

| The farm party. I loved making animal cookies and who doesn't love a good checkered table cloth? |
 |
| The pink poodle party was one of my favorites. I put to use those cool Martha Stewart pom poms. Oh how I miss all that pink fluffiness. I don't think Mickey Mouse would be into pink frosting, do you? |
