Brodie's 3rd Birthday Party :)

Brodie will turn 3 in two weeks, on October 11th, but our due date for lil man is October 12th...so we decided to have Brodie's birthday party early.

We asked Brodie what kind of birthday he wanted to have and we for sure thought he would want a "Cars" birthday, since he is really into that right now...but he told us he wanted a "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Cake!!" He loves to watch Mickey Mouse and it's so cute to hear him sing the songs and say the "magic words" with Mickey.."Meeska, Mooska, Mickey Mouse!". So after several conversations of what he wanted...we planned his "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse" birthday party.

Starting with Brodie's 1st birthday we started a tradition of making his birthday cakes. Brodie loves this and it's always a big deal. (Grandma was here to help with the first 2 and we missed her this year). We got online and looked at pictures and he picked a cake that he liked and wanted us to make. So...Mommy, Daddy and Nana made him this Mickey Mouse Clubhouse cake. Brodie absolutely looved it and of course that makes it all worth it! :)

We are thankful for so many great family and friends that came out to celebrate with us. We had about 40 kids and adults at the party. Brodie had a blast and we hope everyone else did too! Here are a few pics from the party...

Brodie loved everyone singing "Happy Birthday" to him. He was so cute to watch as he was all smiles and couldn't wait to blow out his candle!
