Frozen Birthday Party


Yes, I totally gave in to the craze, drank the frozen kool-aid, and threw our 3 year old a themed birthday party. I even hired 2 princesses to come and sing with the kids. Sometimes, it's just easier to give in to the desires of the third child, than to pretend that she doesn't watch TV and craft a wholesome birthday party.



I sourced table decor from my house, so vases in blue and white, a silver branch candelabra, pinecones, an owl... anything that felt winter-frozen-blue-white-maybe-it-goes.


We pushed the 2 dining tables together, and had kids attempt to "build a snowman" out of pretzel rods and marshmallows. They also had waffles and fruit.


Of course, I made us take a family photo...


A shot of the food...

Watching the movie an hour before the party to refresh the older two. They aren't addicted like the 3 year old, so they needed a reminder about the song lyrics.


Snowman parts.

"Snow" was popcorn, carrots were Olaf's noses, and "Sven snacks" were Chex mix and pastel M&M's.

Our 3 year old in heaven!

My sister made 2 cakes, which was amazing and generous and kind and lovely and thematically appropriate!

  1. It looks like she had a wonderful time! I love her face as she gazes at Elsa. There's no shame in having a Frozen party when that's what your little girl really wants. :)
    Noah turned three a couple of weeks ago. I was fully expecting a Frozen themed request but instead was surprised with a "Green Frog" one.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I love hearing what you have to say! Sometimes I'm busy chasing after the three kids who can walk, or feeding the baby, but I promise, at some point I'll get back to you and head over to your blog (if you have one) to leave you a comment too:)
