It feels like forever ago now, but sometime last school year Lily came home singing a new song, “Frozen Hozen Pozen, Let it Go Just please Just Please.” She’d learned all about a new movie called Frozen from her best friend Tayla. That began many days of the girls playing “Frozen.” I slowly began to piece some of the story together and my first impressions were only of the leggy Va Va Voom character in her ice dress singing about letting go and not caring about something anymore.
Disney movies aren’t first on our list of “Must See,” but I figured this was one I needed to check out. My mom brought the movie up with her on a visit, we all watched it and I have to say, it was ok with me. I laughed, I cried, it was better than Cats. (Why do I make obscure references no one but I will get?!) There are a lot of loose ends in the movie plot, but I still had fun watching it. The story is based on the Hans Christian Andersen story The Snow Queen which I appreciated and I also appreciated that the “love story” of this movie is the love between the two main characters, who are sisters, instead of the typical “romantic” love Disney is known for. Plus, I’m a sucker for fjords.
But no one attached herself to this Frozen hub bub more than out little Essie. I knew she would love a Frozen birthday party. So that’s what happened.
And I was so so glad my mom was here to visit us again and was able to turn Esther into “Frozen” AKA Elsa with some old fabric I found and a Cinderella crown.
Now for your listening pleasure and for a taste of what we heard ALL DAY LONG on Thursday, Esther will perform Elsa singing Let It Go.
“Let it doh, let it doh, I don’t kerr anymo’!”
To clarify what Elsa is letting go; Elsa has been told to conceal her magic from everyone. She slips up and has to run away. Now she gonna be throwin’ Ice everywhere and she don’t care who know!
Again, so glad my mom was here this week since I’ve been sick and none of this would have happened otherwise. Thank you Mama! The internet is thick with ideas for Frozen parties. I gratefully borrowed many of them. And sorry for blurry photos. Sick I was.
I’ve come to decide that supper birthday parties work pretty well for our family. The timing works for us and since I’ve got to make supper and a cake anyway, might as well combine my powers. So we had a Sandwich Supper, with snowflake and mitten cheese.
Food labels I made myself with some cheapy stickers and card stock.
And just for Lily, the only thing she would be eating, Mac-N-Cheese that tonight became Coronation Day Soup.
And my favorite part, the “Chocolate Bar!”
A line from the movie, and exactly what we did.
My mom strikes again making this Pin the nose on Olaf game for us!
Happy Birthday dear Essie!
Happy Birthday to you!
So so cute! You did a great job!
“Plus, I’m a sucker for fjords”
Haha!
Mary’s (born the day after Esther) party was NOT themed this year, so go Aubri! Sick and pregnant and still making these cute birthdays, month after month.
(There was some talk about a “rain” (?) party, but we just went with a good old-fashioned cake, ice cream, and balloons party)
Oh, oh, oh! Can I have a FROZEN party, too? I would so love to play “Pin the Nose on Olaf.” And count me in for the Chocolate BAR!!!
Thanks ladies! It was fun to plan, I always enjoy the planning stage of parties, pulling them off is trickier, but fun to watch the babies enjoy it all!
Katy, good old fashioned parties are really the best, we’ll probably have more of those one of these days!
Kristi, you name the time and the place and a Frozen party is ON!
So cute! Looks like a fun party 🙂
They say Western Christianity is dying – lack of offspring. but you are providing evidence that that is not entirely true. God bless you and may your children rise up and bless you as I fully expect.
G’paw.
Okay, sign that girl up for acting and singing lessons. She has got the melody and the sweeping arm actions for Elsa. You, go, girl!
