Frozen Birthday Party

Last week Marissa turned 6! A week later I still can't believe she is that old. This year she chose to celebrate by having a small family party and a sleepover. I shared our first sleepover post yesterday. Today I wanted to FINALLY share some pictures from her small, simple birthday party.
I didn't go crazy with the decorations or the food. Honestly I think I spent under $5 on the decorations. Most things I made with stuff I had around the house, or found things to print off online and revamped them to make them a bit fancier.
 Blue and white streamers, snowflakes, pint size mason jars, Epsom salt and frozen figurines to decorate the mantel.

More streamers, snow flakes and her sisters Anna doll.

Since I couldn't find a banner to buy, I made one. Construction paper, yarn and some printables.

I used these Frozen Characters other Frozen Images

Do you want to build a snowman?

Centerpiece made with Epsom salt, pine cones, candles and a plate I had lying around.

Streamers and snowflakes

Of the 20 + snowflakes I made, this one was my favorite!

That was it for decorations!

Her cake was chocolate, with chocolate icing per her request. I am NOT a cake decorator. I did make the 3 layer chocolate cake from scratch but when it came to decorating I just slapped the icing on there and attempted to make some snowflakes with melted chocolate.

I also made the Queen of Ice an Elsa cape. Boy oh boy was that "fun".

But she loves it, even if it didn't turn out completely perfect. 

 All and all it turned out great. Especially seeing it was a very small family party.

All of the decorations stayed up for a whole week the girls LOVED having them around and I had worked so hard on them, I didn't mind either.

With the girls birthdays over for this year. My  Birthday party planning for the year is done!

FROZEN night

So, as I am sure just about all of you already know Frozen came out yesterday

I think it is my hands down favorite Disney cartoon ever. It even beats my childhood favorites, Bambi, The Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast. I thought I loved Tangled and then Frozen came along.  And the girls, oh those girls are completely smitten. In fact as I sit here trying to type up this blog quickly, so we can start our day. I have one in my lap and one leaning over crowding her face in front of the screen. Both of them just staring at the picture I placed at the top of this post. They can't get enough. Which describes just about every other little girl I know.

 Last night the ladies from my small group, got together for a girls night which included: Frozen, finger nail polish, and ice cream. It was nice to get out of my house and enjoy the company of friends. Especially after a very stressful start to the week, which included to trips to Walmart for emergency medical supplies. Oh those girls. Don't worry though we are doing great now!  This little cutie pie, definitely stole the show.

My bowl of ice cream, yes I ate the whole thing. Don't judge.

Attempt at a group picture by placing the phone on the lip of the fireplace door.

And then I took a group pic without me. Group pics aren't group pics when someone is missing. 

What a fun night. I think that possibly may have been my 14th time to watch Frozen, but it was great doing it with friends.
