Given her age, it's not hard to guess the theme Mya wanted for her party - Frozen! This mama loves that movie and had no problem planning and decorating for the day. Mya helped me with the party set up on Saturday, getting out all the decorations and exclaiming over each piece I set out. We had Elsa and Anna centerpieces, a wintery "Happy Birthday" pennant garland and I used pink snow flake wrapping paper as table runners.
The menu had a Frozen theme, too. We had "Frost Bite" marshmallow pops, "Kristoff's Ice" Jell-O cubes, "Coronation" Caesar salad, "Sven Snacks" of pretzels, carrots and cheeses, "We finish each other's sandwiches" from Jimmy John's and "Elsa's Icy Punch" to drink. I get carried away with these things. I blame Pinterest for all the ideas.
Since we were only having family over, I decided just to do two small activities with the kids. Of course they were Frozen-themed too. The kids (even Mason) all got to decorate their own crowns, though Mason didn't want to pose with his since he didn't want me to go showing everyone. (He knows me so well!) I did get a picture eventually, but will respect his wishes and not share it.
I made princess wands for all three of them (Mason's is a "magic wand" though) with Frozen color ribbon to wave around while wearing their crowns. And lastly we had a rousing "watch out for my butt" water balloon fight. Oh, Olaf - you're so good for comic relief.
After games it was time for Mya to blow out the "4" candle on her cupcake. We also sang to Megan for her birthday and all the dads for Father's Day. We're equal opportunity celebrators! Lastly was the all important present opening ceremony. Our gift to Mya was a Frozen bike. She hopped right on and owned it. I just love the determined look she has in the picture of her on the bike. That's our Mya in a nutshell - Ms. Independent determined to do everything on her own.
I can't wait to see what the next year has in store for our little princess. No doubt it will be a memorable one!
