m-i-c-k-e-y mouse

jack loves fire trucks.  as a surprise  i bought fire fighter themed party items.  i contacted the local fire department about stopping by our house so the kids could see a real fire truck.  when i sat jack down to let him know about this crazy fun party i had been planning,  he said, "yeah, mommy i think i'm gonna have a mickey-swim party. "  (yes, my heart did sink, and yes, my husband did laugh at me.)

 i had to put plan b into action. once i got into the theme, it was a lot of fun to plan.   here are some details from jack's 4th birthday bash:

each guest had a bucket with his/her name on it.  i used vinyl lettering so the buckets could be reused   

i know this will be tough, but  if you look past my nephew ty's sweet face you can see the favor buckets hanging on the fence.  the kids loved finding their names.

we named our menu after the characters

jack is 4! 

and while i can take credit for making all of the party decor, i have to say that the memories were captured by my sister and chris.  yes, i know, it's great to have them around....and not just for their cameras.   

i would love to recreate this party for your little mouse.  if you're interested, send me an email and we can set up a custom etsy listing. 

i am already talking up this fire truck party for his 5th birthday!  stay tuned...
