FROZEN PARTY!

This year, for her 7th birthday, my daughter wanted a Frozen Birthday Party  (Just like about every other girl in America!) :-)  It was so fun to plan this!

THE FOOD

Frozen Punch.  I froze blue Hawaiian Punch in ice cube trays, and added it to Sprite.  It was yummy, and worked great with a Frozen Party theme!

I created the labels in word, and printed them, cut them, and glued them onto water bottles.

The signs were made in publisher, and then stuck in Styrofoam "Snowballs".

Vanilla yogurt, with chocolate chips, mandarin orange pieces, and chocolate "arms" and "hair".To make the arms, I melted chocolate in a squirt bottle, and created the shapes on wax paper.  I made these in advance, and assembled right before the party,  They were a hit!

 

THE DECORATIONS!

 

These were made on the computer, printed off, and placed in frames.

THE GAMES!

This game was so fun!  The kids got into groups and nominated someone to be the "snowman".  They wrapped them in toilet paper and added the buttons, eyes and noses!

Pin the nose on Olaf.  My sister-in-law drew this on a poster board, and I found clip art of the noses online.

Diving for the treats!

I made the label on the computer (using Word), and put 3 large marshmallows, 2 pretzel sticks, chocolate chipsm 2 small marshmallows and an orange Tic Tac in a snack size zip lock baggie.  Then I staples the labels on.  I love how these turned out!

The end product!

LEGO Birthday Party

My son is obsessed with all things LEGO!  So it was easy to choose the theme for his birthday party this year!

THE FOOD

I started with water bottles, and simply made the labels in Word, cut them out and glued them on.

Club Crackers with cheese (cut out with a fondant circle cutter)

I arranged the fruit to spell LEGO.

He requested lemon cupcakes, so here they are!  The frosting was so good!

T

he Recipe is found here.  

  I made the cupcake toppers on the computer, and used lollipop sticks.

These. are. amazing.  I look for any reason to make these.  If I made them for the family, I would eat them all!  So at parties, I get a few, and others can enjoy them as well!  Simply take one package of Oreo cookies, chop in the food processor. Mix in a package of softened cream cheese, and shape into balls.  Then freeze until firm.  Melt chocolate, and dip,  Let sit on wax paper until the chocolate is hardened.  I keep them refrigerated until they are ready to eat. YUM!!

I made these in a super cute mold that came from the LEGO Store.

 THE DECORATIONS!

A friend of mine made this, and was kind enough to let me use it!

A simple and cute addition to the decor!  I covered the doors in different color tablecloths from the Dollar Store.  Then I taped paper plates on them. 

Another great decoration that I borrowed from my friend!

 

The Favor bags!  I bought plain colored paper bags at Michaels.  I then used scrapbook paper, and a circle hole punch to make the "bricks"

THE GAMES!

I used Foam Board and duct tape to make this.  The kids made cars out of LEGOS and raced.  They loved it!

Pin the head on the Lego man.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Pinata.  I took an old paper box, covered it with blue wrapping paper, and also cut out circles of wrapping paper.  I cut the tops off of 6 Styrofoam cups, and glued them on, followed by the circles.  I cut out a hole on the top, and added rope.  It was simple, and the kids gave it a beating!

We had LEGO Spoon Races.  

It was a fun day, the weather was amazing and all the kids had a great time!
