So, we were super excited for Frozen to come out on DVD in March. The girls (and I…) planned a party! They each invited two friends over and we had a Frozen themed dinner and snacks and watched the movie (of course!). It was super fun. I love me a theme party. I can’t resist. Seriously. I love to plan and decorate and cook. I don’t so much love the clean up, but it’s usually not too bad. Anyway, we (I?) had a blast. The girls were super cute singing along with the songs and they loved my food (hooray!). So, here’s some photo documentation.
The table. I thought it was pretty cool. I had blue sparkly tissue paper under a white plastic table cloth. I thought it looked kinda like snow…
The food! We had ‘Olaf pilaf’. It wasn’t technically a pilaf, I don’t think, but it was a sticky rice made with chicken broth and spices. I was originally planning on forming it into balls and making a little snowman on each plate but, the rice was hot and hurt my hands when I made the first two balls. So, I just served it as rice. I would’ve renamed it snow or something like that, but I didn’t have time… Anyway… We also had ‘Troll Stones’, meatballs with spinach on them, and ‘Sven’s Salad’ which was just whole carrots and some ranch. The punch was blue Hawaiian punch and sprite and I think I called it ‘Heart of Ice’. We had jello jigglers that were kinda a let down. They were supposed to be made with a layer of clear, sprite flavored gelatin and blue Jello but I couldn’t find any blue jello so it was two layers of sprite flavored plain gelatin, one colored blue. It didn’t really taste. Anyway, it looked super cool. It was called ‘Kristoff’s Ice’. Then there were the chocolate dipped strawberries that were ‘Anna’s Frozen Hearts’. They were a hit. A friend brought chocolate and mint rice krispie squares but I didn’t get a picture before they were devoured. I had another dessert planned but after all that was eaten, we decided to hold off. It was going to be ‘Marshmallow the Snow Monster’, a powdered donut with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a scoop of marshmallow fluff and white chocolate chips. Now that I write that all down, it sounds a little extreme. I sent a donut home with each girl in their own ‘crystal’ bowl instead. Good enough.
The girls have made lots of really great friends since we’ve moved and I feel very grateful. Eli was being less than his usual photogenic self and did not want his picture took. Silly boy.
Watching the movie. Emma and her friends helped each other through some intense moments!
