It's a Minnie Mouse Party!

For Caroline's birthday party, we had a fun cookout at Nicholas Ball Park! The kids played on the playground and we all chowed down on hot dogs, baked beans, and watermelon. The theme was Minnie Mouse, and as you'll see from the photos, it was fantastic! Special thanks go to Nana who helped with soooo many details (including the cutest polka dot tablecloths), and to Pappaw who created a masterpeice...you'll see... Anyway, thanks to all who got to come! We had a great time.

Daddy worked long and hard on the cake. It turned out to be so cool!!



Of course, her best buds Mike-Mike and Catha (Michael and Catherine) were right by her side as she blew out the candles.


Great friends, and great times!


The adorable Mize clan! Check out Riley's busted chin! He is one brave dude.


Alex says, 'Where's my presents?'


Aunt Pam has been at 100% of Caroline's birthday parties. Since she's lives in Venezuela, that's a statistical anomaly!


Cutie patootie Maelyn!


The birthday girl concentrating hard on her masterpeice!


Grandpa was the master griller for the evening.


Have you tried the cake yet, BobBob?
