Party Fun!

By -
Sarah Graves seemed to truly enjoy her party.  We had a group of kids there and they all got along really well.

The kids made crowns as one of their first activities and this was a big hit for them.

Sissy made Charlie his crown and I think he was quite proud of it!

Charlie's buddy, Cooper, was sporting his too.

The grandmothers and Ms. Janan enjoyed the party as a time to visit.

She was so excited to play pin the crown on Aurora.  She loves pin the tail on the donkey and really looked forward to this game in her party.

Her friends thought it was fun too!

Thanks to Pops we had the bounce house set up for them to jump in for a while.  Fortunately, we did this before the cake!

Bouncing is definitely fun when you are under four feet tall!



The cake was a big hit!


Here's the whole gang in front of the princess scene.  She was so excited to be with her friends!

When she wasn't coordinating the craft table, Aunt Nay and Charlie had fun together!


We set up a play list of music for the party and of course her favorite song, "Let It Go" was part of the mix.  When that song came on, she stood on the fireplace and belted it out like she was performing in Vegas!  

The piñata was fun for the kids, but they all seemed a bit unsure of what to do with the landslide of candy that finally came out.  

Charlie let Ms. Janan have a quick cuddle.  

We finished up with opening presents and she was a very polite princess as she opened each gift and thanked the giver.  She was super excited to get Anna to go with her Elsa doll that Gramma gave her.  





We owe a ton of thanks to the Maw Maws and Lovie and Pops for helping us get ready for the party.  The Maw Maws watched the kiddos while we set up and Lovie and Pops took care of the cake.  After the party I was feeling pretty sick and really appreciate them all helping us clean up and get everything home.

Frozen Party Details

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

Cloth vs. Disposable

By -
We have mostly been planning to do disposable diapers because I felt that cloth would just be too much work when I go back to work.  Then, we saw these diapers called happy heiny's ( www.happyheinys.com ).  These looked much different than what I envisioned cloth diapers to look like.  Mom used cloth diapers with me and Jeanne', so she felt totally up for using them while Sarah Graves is at her house.  I started looking into the cost comparison and depending on what type of cloth diapers you buy, you can save anywhere from $1200 - $1700.  That is pretty attractive, not to mention knowing that you aren't filling up a landfill somewhere.  There are lots of different varieties of cloth diapers out there, but the ones that seem to be a good investment and user friendly are diapers that have snap closures, with a pocket for an insert to absorb the contents, and they are one size that adjusts as your baby grows from a newborn up to 35 pounds.  You can also purchase the traditio
