A Couple More Birthday Parties

We ended May (yes I said MAY) with a big party for the princesses that live together. Their birthdays are two weeks apart, Lily turned 5 Miss A 3. Since one is blond and the other a redhead how could we not do a Frozen party with 20 of their closest friends.
With so many kids we did stations with 4 or 5 kids at each station and then we would rotate. it didn't go without a hitch but a good time was had by all and no one cried.
We asked family members and a couple of friends to run the stations. Here they are playing a dancing game where they had to dance until the music stopped and then stand on a character on the floor. Then the adult would give a prize to the character they pulled out of the bowl. of course they were all winners.

This station is where they built a marshmallow Olaf. Also had a chocolate fountain (under the tv)


We had the sand table set up with half beach and half snow. Jen made the snow with baking soada and hair conditioner. The kids loved it but it was pretty much mixed together by the time the second set of kids got through.


We bought this a few years back for Lily's first birthday I think and have definitely gotten our use out of it.




Uncle Shawn, Daddy, was in charge of the build an Olaf station


Uncle Tommy started in charge of the musical game but he passed it off to a mom who then passed it off to another mom. They all had a great time.




Then there was the snack table and trail mix station
Someone ate off Olaf's face.
