Perfection! You just throw the best parties– it's all in the little details π What are your outfit deets? Loving the cute top and sandals (even if this is the winter that won't stop in Boston…)
Wow, that party looks awesome! I love the Mickey ears you had for guests and the decorations were too cute! I'm definitely pinning some of your ideas π
Oh, Natasha! You have totally outdone yourself on this one! The party outfits, details, favors, cake and decor were all too perfect! I can only imagine how much prep time went into this party. AND your still getting settled into your new home…so that makes it even more impressive that you pulled off such a flawless celebration! I have a feeling these parties will only get better with age since the babe's are able to understand the birthday concept and celebrate! Great job, friend! Can't believe you now have a TWO-YEAR OLD! xo

Natasha-
I have been reading your blog for a long time and don't think I have ever commented. I don't remember what series of clicks brought me to your blog but I enjoy reading! I am an Ohio momma of two little ones and while I don't blog I looooove getting ideas from the cute and super creative like yourself. Thanks for the source list for the party and your new home is lovely. I hope you share more of it soon! You have so much blog material I am sure with so little time to actually blog about it!
That VW bug is too adorable!! I want to buy it for my mini and she is not coming until August! haha Love the party and love that everyone got ears!
Everything was so adorable and perfect and you all look so happy! I have a 3 month old, so I can't imagine what he'll be like when he's too, so much fun!
What a lucky little lady to have such a wonderful second birthday party!
What a cute party! I love all the details. I'm doing a Minnie Mouse theme party for my 2 year old in May and you gave me some great ideas, thanks for posting!
What a cute party!!! My son LOVES Mickey too and would die if I threw him a party like that! Caroline is a lucky girl π
What a fantastic party!! So glad you shared pictures an sources. I couldn't help but notice Caroline's high chair. Did you paint it yourself? What kid of paint did you use? I am planning on painting the high chair I had when I was little for Ellie. I think spray paint will be easiest…what do you recommend? Especially for the tray? I was thinking I would leave it wood.

Such a sweet and fun party theme! Caroline looks adorable! We have that high chair too! I re-finished and painted it for her 1st bday, but she's still so short in it! It's crazy to think how much taller she'll sit up in it in a year's time like C! HBD to C!

Thanks so much for having us! It was adorable and we had a great time! PS- that puppy chow was amazing!!! The devil, but amazing! Ha!! xoxo Adri
Well done, friend! Love it all…the food, the dΓ©cor, the coordinating outfits. We did a Minnie party at the house for my oldest daughter's third birthday, and it was such a fun theme to work with. Your house is gorgeous, by the way! Can't wait to see the full tour on your blog.
You did such a good job! Love a good bday party post. I did a Mickey party for my lil man's 2nd birthday and it was so much fun!
Happy 2nd Carloline! π You did an awesome job! I love all the details! The food looks nice, easy but very nicely presented, too! Great job, momma!

Hey Natasha!! I know this party was so long ago (I remember reading it for the first time and loving it all!) but I revisited the post to get ideas for my youngest son's second "two-dles" party and am wondering what your invite looked like! I am trying to find a good design with no characters & the ones you use are always the best!! Thanks!! π
what's your email?? happy to send you the image of the invite π
