We celebrated Samantha’s birthday last weekend with a perfectly pink Minnie Mouse party! Maxwell suggested the idea of a Minnie party and I thought it sounded just right!

Samantha was wearing pink, of course, and was ready to party!

The house had plenty of decorations, including some impressive Minnie Mouse drawings by Maxwell!

We had family over for lunch and cake – and plenty of cousin fun! We were so grateful to have LuLu, Granddaddy, baby Margaret, Jenny, Ronnie, Katie, Anna, GJ and Daddo there to help us celebrate! I was so happy to get this good shot of the kids with my parents (I say Samantha’s big smile cancels out Spencer’s sour face. ha!)…

although this shot is probably more realistic and made me laugh!  🙂

Everyone had fun chatting and playing…

and then we put on our (too tight!) party hats…

and had a great lunch (Ousler’s, fruit, deviled eggs, salad with walnuts and apples, and chips) followed by the very best cake from Olexa’s!

Samantha did pretty good at blowing out her candles!

Favorite pic of the day right here…

Everyone enjoyed the cake. It was so, so good!

It was then time for presents! Baby had plenty of help getting everything open!

She got some really fun stuff including a Sit N Spin, a tutu, a remote controlled Minnie car, a singing Elsa doll, a doctor kit, and a princess dress! What a lucky little girl! I’d say she loved it all – and loved dressing up and dancing with Elsa and GJ! 🙂

What a fun day getting to celebrate the TWO-riffic birthday girl!

Happy birthday Samantha!
