Let's start with the goody bags! These were so simple to make and yet soooo cute! They each contained a small bouncy ball with stars, a Mickey Mouse Cake Pop (not simple to make) and a BPA-free plastic Mickey cup (thanks Laura!). They also all got to take home the Mickey Mouse ears I made for them. I even made a Minnie Mouse one for Callie!
I made them these adorable (if I do say so myself) Mickey shirts to wear. Our friend Sara asked at the party if I ordered them off of Etsy so I guess they looked pretty professional! They were relatively easy to make. However, I left them until the last minute so I was up sewing them together at midnight the night before. It was worth it because they loved wearing them!
For food we had Donald's Cheese and Quakers, Oreo Mickey's, Hot Diggety Dogs (and brats), more Cake Pops, Pineapple Pretzel Salad, Cucumber Hummus, Veggie Pizza (thanks Laura!) and a fruit tart that I forgot to put out and ended up eating myself the few days following the party. AGH!
The cake was so cute! They loved that too, especially eating it!
We sang Happy Birthday to each of them separately (like we always do) but when we first sang to Brody (he was born first) Tyler helped him blow out the candle.

To go with cake we had ice cream (also a hit)!
We didn't have any organized games and that was good because organized games = stressed out mommy as we learned from the Ninjago party. It was a hot summer day so we just filled the kid pool, put out some squirt guns, had the wiggly sprinkler going, put up the bounce house and the kids all had a crazy good time.
