The day has finally arrived, the day Lexi gets her "mice" cake. She has been so excited for her Mickey Mouse Birthday Party with her friends and her cake. Well, the whole time we have been planning this birthday party Rick and I have worried about the weather being too hot and how were we going to keep the party guests cool. Mother nature took care of that worry and instead "blessed" us with a down pour of rain at 8:00 am. It was suppose to be an outdoor party and right as we were setting up tables in the backyard the skies decided to open up and it poured for 45 minutes. We were in total panic - the guests were due to arrive at 9:30 for a Mickey Mouse birthday party and we didn't know where we were going to put them all. Thankfully, Grandma Cindy was here and she was working hard in the kitchen to make sure all the food was ready to go. We set the tables up inside for the time being and then at 9:20 the rain stopped and the sun came out so we moved the tables back outside as the guests were arriving. It was a little chaotic but I think everyone understood. Anyways, the party began. Lexi was ecstatic every time the doorbell rang. She greeted her friends with their very own set of ears.The kids were able to play outdoors in Lexi's little playhouse and the parents were able to eat.
Just as everyone was getting restless, Mickey Mouse arrived at the door and the kids couldn't have been more surprised. Lexi didn't leave Mickey's side or stop smiling the whole time he was here! It was great. This was the part of the party Rick and I couldn't wait for (we didn't tell anyone he was coming).
After some dancing and some photos with Mickey it was time for him to leave and to serve the cake!Quick family photo before we sing Happy Birthday!And then a little gift opening - Lexi had Giavanna to help her with that part.Saying goodbye to our friends and giving them their treat bags.
As if the birthday party wasn't enough excitement for one day, we had to make a trip to the railroad park to ride the train with Grandma and Papa.
