HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

So did I mention that Riley LOVES mickey mouse? Well, not only did we have to have a mickey mouse birthday...but we also had to BE mickey mouse for Halloween. Minnie mouse custome was just too cold for this time of year here, so Sydney got to be Donald Duck...Riley was so excited to go "trick-o-treating"!

How much longer do you want to walk child? You're killing my back!

Making a pumpkin with Grandpa

First you make the lid

cousins sitting together!

The Girls Had Their Birthdays!

I made a monkey cake on Thursday for Sydney's birthday. I love the Wilton cake pans, they make things a little easier!

Then on Saturday, I made Riley this mickey mouse clubhouse cake. They were out of cake pans for mickey mouse on the Wilton website, so I found this pattern for free on the disney website. It wasn't as hard to make as I thought it was going to be.

Riley turns 3!

Having some birthday cake, and finally learned how to blow out candles this year!

I am three now, and don't forget it!

Sydney has a little fun with the mickey mouse ears!
