I still don't understand the huge excitement over the movie Frozen. I thought it was cute and fine but Rachel thinks it is amazing. So she wanted a Frozen party for her birthday this year. Of course, I went to Pinterest to come up with some ideas for such a party.
First we decorated bags and colored pictures of people from Frozen.
We had a special treasure hunt. Instead of regular clues we used the songs from Frozen. For example, one clue was "Love is an open _______". The girls all knew their songs really well.
The treasure hunt led to some chocolate. One of the songs says "I'm gonna stuff some __________ in my face". The babies really wanted the chocolate also.
Then we played snowball toss. It was really ping pong balls and the kids took turns throwing into the cups which each had a picture of someone from the movie. Elsa was worth the most points. The bad prince was worth the least.
Then it was time to play Pin the Nose on Olaf. Rachel won and got a little necklace prize.
We made Olaf faces out of popsicle sticks.
Our last activity was to make a princess wand. Thanks go to my mom for being the hot glue queen for the day.
Then it was time to open presents. Rachel got some Frozen puzzles and candy and a barbie and other good things.
Instead of cake we made snowman donuts. You can almost tell that that is what they are making.

And look at the happy birthday girl. It is hard to believe that she is five years old.
What a fun day we had.

Adam's First Birthday
My baby turned one. How did that happen? They keep growing when we aren't looking, I'm sure. We celebrated Adam's birthday at my parents house because it was the day after Thanksgiving.
We made brownies in the morning. Everyone wanted to help.
Even Adam got a second to stir. I was only going to let him stir long enough for me to get a picture and he managed to make a mess and leave a brownie splatter on his cheek. Isn't he adorable?
I gave Adam a little ribbon that said birthday boy but that didn't last.
Time to open presents. Adam got really into the unwrapping.
The girls watched very closely to see what he would get.
This little baby 'tablet' was a hit. Adam has even had a little bit of time playing with it.
Blowing out the candle with help from Will. Adam started crying when it got all dark.
But was quickly pacified with yummy brownie and ice cream.
My cute boy is so grown up now. Happy Birthday Adam!
