Birthday Party Weekend

This past weekend we celebrated the girls' 4th and 1st birthdays (along with Mabel's baptism, which I'll capture in another post). 

Matilda requested a Frozen party, so that is what we she got.  No Pinterest worthy decorations this year, mostly just store bought decorations, but I still think it came out pretty cute. :)  No homemade cake this year either, but the H-E-B cake was cute.  We also had "krumcakes" like they eat in one of her Frozen stories, but they were actually just cannoli's.




We had about 60 guests.  (This was the first year she wanted to invite her classmates.  Usually we just invite our family and friends and their kids.)  A late spring cold front was blowing through, so we had to have most of the party indoors.  Good thing we had scheduled both indoor and outdoor activities.

After a lunch of chili cheese hotdogs, veggies, chips, and fruit, the kiddoes decorated snowflakes.  Some of them played outside and in Matilda's room before we cut the cake.



Matilda got a little shy during the Happy Birthday song and wanted to cuddle her sister which was really cute.




 Once most of the guests left, we let the girls open their presents. Mabel had a few from family too.

        



As always, I think Matilda had about 6 wardrobe changes through the party (no joke).  She had a great time though!


After nap and quiet time for the kiddoes, we celebrated Mabel's birthday with family.


We made spaghetti, which Mabel thoroughly enjoyed.  She also hadn't had any cake, so we let her have a slice after singing happy birthday.

 


 Let's just say, she went directly into the bath afterwards and got a good scrubbing. :)


I think both of the girls enjoyed their birthday celebrations.
