Happy 3rd Birthday Austin!

It's hard to believe that Austin is now 3 years old! I don't know where the time has gone, but somehow, my little boy has turned 3.

On Sunday, we had a party for him -- inviting 5 of his friends, their parents and siblings. In total, we were 10 adults and 9 kids for lunch and cake.

The kids spent the about three hours running around the basement, stopping only long enough to eat.

Since Austin is big into Mickey Mouse right now (it's his favourite TV show), I made him a Mickey Mouse cake for the party. It took me the better part of Saturday to decorate, since it's the first time I've ever decorated a cake, but it was fun to do -- and Austin loved it, which was the most important part.

Here are some pictures from the party, enjoy. More pictures are in the slideshow in the right-hand sidebar.
