After some time (ok, probably hours) trolling Pinterest to get ideas, I finally had to narrow ideas down (aka get pratical since I may have procrastinated the planning a bit). The Micky balloons made everything more festive and we had food with a Mickey theme.
Here I am putting the finishing touches on the fruit mouse-ka-bobs. We stuck them into a foam Mickey head - this was my favorite, I was happy how it turned out!
Voila - Mickey's Mousekabobs!
And we had Pete's Pasta Salad.
Chip and Dale brought Chips and Dip.
Professor Von Drake wisely encouraged everyone to eat their veggies.
And you can't have a party without Hot Diggity Dogs!
Karsten liked the Mouskabobs.
A few quick pictures of us and the lunch spread before everyone dug in!
\Karsten wasn't too into the mouse ears - he took these off almost immediately after the picture was taken.
Birthday parties can wear a guy out!
But not this guy - he was enjoying every minute! My mom spotted these noisemakers at the store and decided that they would complete the party. The kids had a ton of fun playing with them!
Even the big kids had fun playing with them!
Time to eat!
And don't forget dessert! We had Pluto's pretzels.
And Clarabelle's cupcakes which had Mickey heads on them.
Karsten and Taylor were claiming their cupcakes.
Still having fun with the noisemakers
And then it was time to blow out the candles!
Eden enjoying her cupcake.
Liam watched Elam eat his cupcake with an envious look on his fave.
Papa giving Liam a kiss.
Karsten headed outside to see his birthday present from Scott and I .
Taylor had fun playing with the Mickey Mouse ears.
I think Karsten was a bit overwhelmed with everyone trying to help him learn how to drive his jeep.
After some negotiating, Karsten shared his jeep and let Elam drive...briefly.
What a cutie!
Liam stayed inside and kept Gaga company.
Elam talked Linda into playing football with him!
Taylor and Kelli having a good time!
Aww, how cute!
Present time!
Uncle Kevin and Aunt Nancy got Karsten this blow up ball pit - perfect for the 100 balls that they got for him. They're determined to cover our house in tiny plastic balls! :)
My dad build Karsten this telecope for his clubhouse - it was an immediate hit with all the kids, everyone wanted to look through it!
My mom made Karsten a cute dinosaur quilt.
Green dino was festive with the Mickey ears.
Aunt Kelli knows how to choose birthday presents for little boys. The remote control digger is a HUGE hit!
Karsten and Elam wanted my dad to open it right away!
Linda found this cute camp chair for Karsten and he loves it. It's currently sitting in our living room and he sits in it almost daily!
Liam tried to stay involved in the action.
Karsten, Elam and Eden playing.

Kelli and Liam - I think the festivities wore this little guy out!
