The big red box!

I recently received an email from the Mickey Moms Club about hosting a "What will you celebrate?" house party. Of course, I applied and one day a big red box was on my door step....I got the party! The package included some really great items to share with my guests all I had to do was figure out when to host the party!

We had planned to have the party one evening, but then the floods happened and school was canceled, so I asked everyone if they would be ok with doing our party during the day around lunch time...this worked out really well!

Tons of balloons were in the package, so I had Thomas blow some up to put around and we sent a bunch home with each family!Another part of the party pack included recipes to make and serve at our party...I followed some, but I also went to their website and found others to incorporate as well!

These are pretzel pizzas, to make them we used pizza dough and cut it into strips where we rolled in pepperonis and then rolled it up...Thomas made a few of them into actual pretzel shapes, but these were hard to make.
Our punch was Fizzy Delight, made up of Hawaiian Punch, pineapple juice, frozen orange juice, and ginger ale...it was yummy!I also made a fruit dish following the Fab Five Fruit Cups, we used bananas, strawberries, and apples. Then mixed in some vanilla yogurt, granola crisps and sprinkled with coconut...this was very good also!
I tried to draw the Mickey head on the cupcakes...some looked ok, but they all tasted great!All of the kids got to make their own Mighty Mickey pizzas. Each was given an English muffin where they put on the sauce and then chose their own toppings from ham, pepperoni, olives, green pepper, pineapple and of course cheese! I think all of the kids really enjoyed this!
While the pizzas cooked we played one of the games sent with the package...Disney Bingo! Each child was given a board with the parks, hotels, characters and more and then we would draw a slip and call it out, the kids did a great job playing and had a lot of fun!
Pizzas are ready!
After eating, we made the Disney Wish Maker Craft. This craft was also sent in the package and was printed on thick, colorful paper. The kids enjoyed the finger craft/game.
The adults answered the questions on the trivia cards and Laura impersonated Captain Hook! :)Tyler, Tanner and one of the Richards' boys participated in a sword/saber fight.

As always, any reason to get together with friends is great and to have a party package to share with them is even greater! Thanks Disney for the package and thanks to all our friends for coming and celebrating friendship with us!
