Shreveport Holiday Visit 2011

By -
Our trip to Shreveport was a whirlwind, but a lot of fun.  Sarah Graves was loved on by many, but being off schedule left her exhausted!  I have been trying to get caught up on work and need to get caught up on sleep, but wanted to start posting some of our fun memories. 
Sarah Graves is a fabulous traveler.  We bought her a seat on the plane, installed her car seat for the flight, and had a delightful time with her.  She was up way past her bedtime, but handled it like a pro!
Mamma and Pappa were so excited to have the whole family at their house on Saturday.  I was a goof and forgot to bring the big camera that morning, but we managed to get a few snapshots. 

She was very taken with Jen and loved the freedom of being outside and able to run around on all the property.

Uncle Les and Aunt Barbara gave her a new doll called Pinkalicious!  She is sparkly and all things a baby girl loves.

Sarah Graves did flips and twirled and showed off all of her funny tricks.  She said, "Go Tigers" about a million times while we watched the game and kept us all entertained!  So happy that we had a chance to share her joy with them.

Like most girls her age, Sarah Graves LOVES Frozen and has known for quite some time that she wanted a Frozen birthday party. I was so excited when I saw this invitation on Etsy and she loved it too! It reminded me of an infographic. The Frozen theme was a lot of fun! There were so many things to choose from that I took to pinterest and eventually decided on the ideas that I would use for this party. I found this great Arendelle banner here on Pinterest I was so grateful that my sister did a snowflake Christmas and had tons of snowflake ornaments to hang as decorations! This party theme was a lot of fun to plan the food. Kristoff's ice cubes were made from Jell-o with an ombre effect. I found the recipe here on Pinterest. I doubled the recipe to make a 13x9 size pan of it and I made 2 13x9 pans of it. The made plenty of "ice cubes" to fill 35 cups. They turned out really cute! My parents made this Elsa cake and did a fabulous job

Sarah Graves loves baking, watching baking shows, and has lots of ideas about cake decorating. She wanted to decorate her cake herself and made it a team effort with Lovie.  She was very proud of the finished product and learned that piping icing isn't as easy as it looks! For her party, friends went ice skating then came back to our house for food and cake! This guy we referred to as "Cat Man" skated around with his cat and at time with hold the cat under its front legs just above the ice and let it sway as he skated! The cat did not seem to mind...it sure did catch our attention! Pierced ears mean fun earrings! Aunt Lexie definitely picked fun ones with these rubber chickens! So many people love this sweet girl and showed up to celebrate her!
