For Ty's 3rd birthday he told us he wanted a Mickey Mouse party, so we did our best to oblige. We picked up Mickey party hats and other fun Mickey party favors. I even managed to make a good Mickey cake. I'm so grateful to have a cake decorating kit now. It really does make a big difference on how your cakes turn out.
Ty's day started with a big surprise. Lee and I booby-trapped his door with balloons and streamers. When he opened the door he had an avalanche of balloons, then got to break through the streamers.
Sadly his face was covered for the picture, but he had a big smile.
After a quick run to the office to pick up the package from Grandma, we called over Skype to Grandma so she could watch Ty open the present. He sat for quite a while just playing with his new Mickey RV toy. Grandma was very happy to see that he enjoyed it.
Will and Becky drove down for the day to party with us. We played a little Wii together and went to Fort Fun and enjoyed the arcade and bounce house there. I'm so grateful that we still have some family close by to celebrate special occasions with.
After Fort Fun we had cake and presents. We let Ty decide where to put his candles. He thought Mickey's chin was a good place.
It was such a fun day and I think Ty really felt special. I still have a hard time believing that he's already 3 years old!
