Faith's Frozen Party

It's a frozen day outside, so I thought it's a perfect day to finally post photos from Faith's Frozen birthday party! :-)

Faith and I loved the colors of the Frozen party items....so pretty!

We decided to incorporate her snowman and snow scene (from Mimi and PawPaw) into the party and used it for the backdrop of a couple of our games!

First, the girls made Frozen Snow Mobiles. The kits came complete with silver snowflakes and Frozen metallic markers! We sent a couple of markers home with each girl, so they could make more Frozen fun at their house. 

Faith wore her Frozen Elsa costume, a gift from Aunt Michelle, Uncle Reed, and Lindsey in Colorado. 

Adorable girls! 

Faith wanted Felicity to take part in the the Frozen Karaoke too, 

she had her own microphone after all! 

Then, we played pin the carrot nose on Olaf!  

There was so much laughter erupting from our house.  Each of the girls delighted in the other girls attempt to find the place for Olaf's nose!

Then, the girls were divided into pairs...

for snowgirl making

with toilet paper of course! 

The girls were pretty skilled at getting through the whole roll of toilet paper!!!

And looked super cute in the process.

Snowgirl Faith!! 

Faith and Madeline, friends since they were babies! :-)

Then, we made edible snowmen out of marshmallows and pretzels.  

Then, it was the time Faith had been waiting for all morning....Karaoke Time! I had each girl draw a necklace that had a song name attached to it.  Jillian, Kate, and Annie sang "Do you want to Build a Snowman." 

Faith, Madeline, and Paige sang "Let it Go"! 

Faith's friends were a little shy about singing in front of everyone, but Faith literally let it go!!! 

I love how dramatic Faith can be as a performer!  Brad and I always joke, "I wonder where she got that from!" :-)  (The answer is most likely from her mommy AND her daddy!)

Then, Faith B. Meredith, and Emily sang "For the First Time in Forever."

Then it was lunch time, we had pizza and Frozen themed foods.  I wrote the name of the food on a marshmallow. For carrots, I wrote "Olaf's Nose"! For grapes with white yogurt, "Snow Grapes." For pretzels,  "Olaf's arms"! 

My beautiful, sweet 7 year old with her home-made birthday cake. She saw that I made her two home-made birthday cakes for her 1st birthday and wanted me to do it again!  

We also had a Ice-Cream cake, because you can't have a Frozen birthday party without ice-cream cake!

Then, it was time to open up presents. Each of Faith's friends was so thoughtful in their gifts.

Faith's mom made her a hand-crocheted Elsa hat!  

Meredith, a friend from horse camp this summer gave her a horse and a Frozen shirt. 

She LOVED every single one of her gifts. 

Then, it was it was time for the party finale...

an ice-cream pinata! 

Then, the prizes spilled out, including adorable ice-cream cones pens I found at Target.  I thought the moms would really appreciate that I didn't just fill their goodie bags with candy! 

Sweet precious girls! It was a joy to celebrate Faith's 7th Birthday party with each of these sweet girls!

Throwback Thursday

I LOVE taking pictures, but after seven years of adding thousands of photo to this computer, we are running out of room on our hard-drive. Anyway, I am trying my best to clean out some photos and today I found a folder entitled "Reading with the Holmes's"! 

 Jillian was just learning to read and was practicing on her sisters! Faith was trying to read too, but Jillian wasn't too sure about it.

 Jillian was in Kindergarten at the time and I read the book that she had picked up from the library about the 100th day of school.  Jillian had just had a bath!

 Don't you love Faith's unique style in matching her pajamas? She has a Dora nightshirt over her white pajamas!

Anna was at the toddler stage and she had just developed a mind of her own about things (& it hasn't changed too much!!!).

I love Faith!! 

Kisses with Anna (as I laugh) and an adorable grin from my sweet Faith! 

  Jillian's hair was semi-dry and afterwards she gave her daddy a neck message with lotion! Can you see the white stuff on Brad's neck?  For a while, the girls were obsessed with lotion and wanted to give us foot, hand, neck messages all the time! I miss those days.

I am thankful for the old memories and the new memories we make each day.
