Last Day

Today was Liam’s last day of being one. Sigh…It’s hard to believe he’s going to be two tomorrow. We had his birthday party yesterday. I was so excited about the Mickey Mouse theme. He LOVES Mickey Mouse, and we had JUST come back from Disneyworld. But the weather didn’t cooperate for it. The snow kept some people away who would have otherwise come (plus it’s also hard with his birthday being the day after Valentine’s Day and always right around President’s Day – some people seem to always have plans that weekend). But, we had a fun time with the friends who did come, and it turned out to be probably the perfect amount of people for a party where we were cooped up inside the whole time (although the snow was melted on the roads, we still had a fair amount in the back yard).

I was so proud of the Mickey Mouse cake I made!







I also made these Mickey cookies for the goodie bags. They turned out SO cute, but the cookie recipe should make 24-30 cookies. The Mickey cutter is so big it only made 13. Then as I was decorating them, I got distracted, and knocked the box on the floor, breaking the 5 cookies I hadn’t yet decorated. So 8 survived. But then even the ones that DID survive all that, some of the ears had broken off by the time the party was over. Oh well. It was a fun idea.



I had found these birthday ears a few months ago for Liam and bought them, taking the chance that he might wear them for some of his party. To my surprise, he wore them for the whole party! I was thrilled! We had all bought mouse ears for the party. Zachary wore his for a little while but then once his friend Cameron came over, I guess he was too cool for ears.





And finally, just because, here are a few pictures from Friday & Saturday in our “snow event” (yes, here in Georgia, 2.5 inches is an “event” – it didn’t paralyze the city or anything, but it was enough to be FUN!)
