The "Frozen" Birthday Party

As Abigail's birthday was quickly approaching I asked Abigail what kind of party she wanted to have and she always responded with a "Frozen" party. So after a lot of surfing and looking a "Frozen" party is what she was going to get.

I found snowflakes and party swirls and hung them through the hallway to the kitchen.

For the birthday set up table I found frozen table cloth, plates and cups. For the straws we had purple and white striped straws. We had melted snow that I filled in water bottles. 

For the food we made Sven's Frozen Snack Mix, Olaf Noses (carrots), Fruit, and pinwheel sandwiches (for we finish each others sandwiches). 

For the goodie bags I made Snow Dough, and Do you want to build a snowman, along with a frozen necklace and lip gloss.

Last but not least we had a frozen cake with cup cakes and served a Frozen Bar (mainly a sundae bar with waffle bowls.

Overall it was a great success. Abigail had a really good turn out by having nine little girls show up. As they arrived we crowned them and then we started the scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt were clues from the frozen songs that you placed with things around the house. In the end it led the girls to the food and we then had our little light lunch. 

Once the little princesses were full we then played pin the nose on Olaf. Then Abigail opened presents and I took a picture of her with the little girl and their present they brought for her. 

We then finished with singing Happy Birthday, having a frozen cup cake and an waffle bowl frozen bar.

Thank you all who came!

Happy Birthday Abigail!!

Today is the day when my baby girl turns the big 5! I can't believe it. Five years ago our little beautiful, drama, sweet, crazy princess was born.

She headed to school taking cinnamon treats with her. After picking up Abi and Jack from school we headed over to Grandma H's. After picking up grandma we headed over to Aunt Brooke's for the festivities to begin. We drove to City Creek as that was the request of the birthday girl. 

We first went to the Blue Lemon for Lunch. Delicious as always. Afterward we made our way over to Claire's for the ear piercing event.

We waited for a little while because we wanted to do both ears at once and another employee would be getting back from break. So in the mean time we looked through the store, and finally it was our turn. Thank You Brooke for taking a video of it. 

 

In the end the ears got pierced and Abi cried more due to the shock. Once we got her to calm down we then made our way over to the Disney Store. 

After spending our fun afternoon at City Creek it was time to head home to make dinner. Abigail's request for dinner was Taco's. 

In the end it was a really fun day. Happy Birthday baby girl! I hope you had a fun day!!

Saturday will be the main event.

A Birthday Girl

Tonight the adults ventured out to celebrate Moms birthday. We decided this year to go to Longhorn Steakhouse in Fort Union. The food was delicious and the company was fun. This has been a fun tradition for the holiday season but the first without any grand kids.

My Brothers Birthday

My Sister In Law, Brooke, is quite the party planner. She put together a nice delicious party for my twin brothers. We headed over to Brooke and Logan's house for this fun celebration. She had a Halloween themed party. She served cup cakes with spiders, a delicious clam chowder with pumpkin shaped bread bowls, candy bags for the kids, orange punch with striped straws, a pumpkin pie for their cake and much more.

Happy Birthday Jack

Jack turned 5! Can't believe my little man is turning 5. I will never forget the day we first met and saw him and immediately fell in love with him. That love has continued to only grow stronger and can't imagine our life or family without him.

For his big 5 birthday we figured we would invite his little friends over and do a themed party. After asking Jack what he would like it all came down to Star Wars!

We went shopping and got a Star Wars table cloth, Darth Vader masks and pool noodles to turn them into light sabers.

Once the friends arrived we had them go outside and we ate some pizza and had "yoda soda."

After lunch the "Jedi" training was going to start. First phase was maneuvering through the red lazers down the deck and try to not have your limbs cut off.  

Everyone did a great job. Second phase was to catch a chicken. We let our chickens out and the kids had to chase and catch one. After they caught one they would sit on the stairs of the deck. It was quite a site and I think the kids really like it. 

Third phase was how to handle a light saber. After passing the three phases they were ready for some Star Wars fighting. 

They were off playing hide and go seek light saber fighting.

We then had cake. The Jedi fighters loved the Star Wars cup cakes.

Happy Birthday to my most Amazing, Jedi Fighter, Lego Lover, All around boy. We love you Jack and wish you so many more birthdays!
