A Party Fit for an Ice Princess

Emma wanted a Frozen themed party for her 6th birthday.  Lauren was happy to play the role of little sister, Anna.

Emma looked lovely in her Elsa gown and tiara.  She helped me create the snowflake decorations in the weeks prior to the party.

The girls played "Anna's Snowball Toss" in their finest dresses.  Thanks to The Dollar Tree, I was able to make this game for $11.00!

Next, the princesses made Arendelle ice bracelets.

"Elsa's Race to North Mountain" was a fun game!  The girls balanced an ice cube on a carrot stick as they followed the trail around the house.  (The party was intended to be outdoors, but the rain kept us inside.)

These Olafs are adorable!

 There were snacks galore to fit the Frozen theme:  Hershey Kisses (to melt a frozen heart), Snowballs (marshmallows), Olaf Arms (pretzels sticks), Sven's Antlers (pretzel twists), Olaf Noses (petite carrots), Troll Trail Mix, Anna's Punch, Elsa's Apple Juice, and Melted Snow.

"Pin the Nose on Olaf" was a highlight.  I had enough carrot pieces for each girl to go twice.

 The activities continued with "Sven's Snowflakes" and  "Kristoff's Ice Tower."  Stacking the cubes was cold and slippery!

A large and small scoop of vanilla ice cream was the canvas for food art!  The girls added chocolate chips, pretzels, marshmallows, and a petite carrot to make their edible Olafs.

Lauren enjoyed all of the fun, too!

 
For a parting gift, the princesses each picked a Frozen book.  They carried all of their goodies home in an Olaf bag.  I loved searching Pinterest for all of these awesome ideas!

Lauren Turns Two







Elmo, Abby, and the Sesame Street gang helped us celebrate Lauren's second birthday.  We played pin the nose on Elmo, but Lauren was so quick, I couldn't get a picture in time!

A Purrfect Birthday









Emma had a Hello Kitty themed family party at our house.  I always enjoy preparing and decorating.  Emma really likes helping me and truly appreciates it.  I painted her toes to reflect the festivities, per the birthday girl's request.  Not too shabby for such a small canvas!  The girls also wore Hello Kitty outfits.  It's so nice of Emma's aunts/great-aunts, uncles/great-uncles, cousins, and grandparents to celebrate with us!

Ying and Yang


I debated whether or not to use this picture.  We wanted a photo of Lauren wearing her "I'm One" party hat, but she wasn't a fan.  Emma was a good sport and tried to cheer her sister up, but there was no use.

One Is Fun!
















Under the big top was the theme of Lauren's first birthday party.  It's so fun to shop for the decorations and paper goods and then stage the house.  We ordered a cake from Janet's Cakes.  They did a great job on matching the party decor.  Many family members came to celebrate with us.  We love having everyone over for these special events.

Happy 4th Birthday!







 


Many family members joined us for Emma's party.  We had a wonderful time.  Lauren slept through most of it, but sported her Minnieware for a short time!
