The party was a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse theme (Brendan's current favorite television show). Some of the highlights of the party were:
-Mickey Mouse Hunt to find mickey mouse ears stuck all over the house
-The kids played in a black-and-white cardboard 'clubhouse' that Brendan has been working on coloring in. (It's kind of like a 3-D coloring book).
-Cupcakes with navy blue (it was supposed to be black--oops) icing that stained everyone's teeth and faces.
-Brendan got a new bike! Actually, just a big wheel, that the kids took rides on down our big backyard hill.
-Lessons on sharing with the tee-ball set.
-Mickey-shaped cheese and fruit kabobs.
It's so hard to believe that it has been 3 years since Brendan was brought into this world. He has become his own little man in this past year. On the good days :) he can be polite, caring, and so affectionate. And on the whole, he is an extremely well-behaved child. We are so lucky to have him as a part of our family. We wouldn't trade him for anything. Happy 3rd Birthday, B! We can't wait to see how much more you will learn and grow in the upcoming year. We love you.
(Here are just a few of the pictures. As always, my sister Jess took so many great shots it's hard to narrow it down. If you'd like to see more there is a slide show at the bottom of the page. Enjoy!)
