oh - TWO- doodles!!!

Happy Mickey Mouse Birthday to you Cohen...

We don't have cable after moving out from Cici and Grampa's house but when you DO watch Mickey Mouse, the 'oh tooooooooodles' part is your favorite.  So we went with it for a theme for the day.

We had so many family and friends come out to celebrate on Saturday (your ACTUAL) birthday this year.  In between the craziness of kids running around, opening presents and house visitors, you also skipped your nap.  JOY ;-) But it was worth it..

Your Babi and Deda came and spend all day watching the mayhem at our house.  Even Babi thought you were quite entertaining.

Babi and Deda made it by!

my big two-year old!

I wanted people to be able to come and visit and eat without having to serve food all day.  So we had a serve yourself atmosphere and Mickey and his friends helped.  We had "Toodle's Trail Mix" ... do not judge the food selection below. NONE of it is nutritious, on the Paleo/whole30 plan OR is generally anywhere close to our home.  But for one day, totally worth it...

Flowers in the back were for me to celebrate the BIRTH day as well ;-) Thanks Patrick!

Yummy Mickey-shaped Oreo cookies as an easy sweet treat (missed my blog on that? The recipe is here)  We were just going to do a simple sheet cake, but the city of Tulsa does not support the Mickey-themed cakes.  They DO, however, have many MANY MAAAAAANY Minney mouse cakes for all the little girls. Don't get me started on why my BOY child can't have a Mickey cake from Walmart, but the GIRLS have 4 choices of Minney Mouse.  So instead, I made up a few decorations and we put it on top of simple cupcakes.

Our "Hot Diggity Dog Bar" (You know you are a parent if you are reading this and the song automatically comes in your mind..) I just placed hotdogs in the crockpot with all the fix in's on the side. I thought it went over well!

And lest you think that because we had a horrible menu of non-nutritional items in our house, you KNOW I had to have some healthy snacks.  Ran out of time to make Shakeology cookies, but Mickey shaped watermelon (thanks Jennifer!) and veggies worked just fine!

I'm sorry for the picture overload, but these speak louder than my words could ever do.  We are so lucky to have you in all your sassiness, huggable, snug gable, and smarty-pants self.  Happy Birthday, Cohen.

Could have scared him or not...he LOVED the giant Mickey

Cousins...so sweet

And then you have to bathe them before bed, right??

Thank you again to all the people who helped and came out to say you loved him..(and us maybe?) We even got to spend the weekend with college friends and family. Life is good ;-)
