A Magical Minnie Celebration!

What a fantastic evening we had celebrating our girl's 4th birthday with precious family and friends!



As you can see our theme for the event was her favorite...Minnie Mouse!  We hosted the party in our church's gym. With the Louisiana heat, and tonight a much needed rain shower, there is no better place to be than indoors!!



Opposite this "pretty" side was a kid's play area complete with a fun jump, hula hoops, balls, and basketball.

 But sometimes climbing on the bleachers was just more fun!
After filling our tummies on "Minnie's Delightful Dogs", "Mickey's Magical Mac & Cheese" and "Donald & Daisy's Fantastic Fruit"; 
It was time for cake and presents!!

Very meticulous opening! 
Gift cards are Great! 

Some friends, like baby Emily and Charlotte, were at their very first birthday party!!

I have to admit that I love planning birthday parties...they only come around once a year and deserve to be celebrated!!  I also admit that I'm a "little" addicted to Pinterest and the Internet; that is where I found these great ideas.  I loved the opportunity to be crafty for my girl, but could not have implemented any of these ideas without the help of a wonderful husband and great friends!  Thank you Vonceil, Mary, Molly, Tom & Sue!!
Painted Foam Ball Centerpieces 
 Balloon Bouquets (no helium required!)
Oreo Cookie Pops
Themed Goody Bags
Of course, the best part of the evening was seeing Eva so happy and surrounded by those who love her so much!  There is no greater gift than that!!
