isabel's frozen party

miss isabel macqueen had her birthday party yesterday - a frozen party! and as usual her mum pulled out all the stops to make sure it was the coolest party out. ha. did you like what i did there?

here i am with the guest of honour. my favourite child haha

and best friend jen. we still manage to get a selfie in every now and then.

baby millie made the cutest mini anna i've ever seen

and isabel had the most incredible elsa dress i've seen, complete with sparkles and shimmery fabric.

grace and madeline were on hand to make shaved ice slushies by the truckload as all the kids shuffled through.

so good!

banoffee pie and snowflake cookies made by moi and jen - a joint venture haha

plus snowballs and snow coated brownies

anddddd frozen jelly slice! it's my first time using clear "flavour your own jelly" and i was so happy with the result. it looked amazing!

jen outdid herself - as she does every year... i actually don't know how she always manages to top her previous efforts every time, but she hand painted an ice castle to have at the back of the table!

and the kids had the time of their lives playing with the snow machine. so much mess, but so much fun!

oh to be a kid again. ❤

the cake was increddddddible as always and delicious too.

the happiest birthday girl!

i just love her so much. ❤

the macqueen family. my favourite people out!

setita's frozen birthday

we love birthday parties! and today was no exception, as madeline had been invited to a frozen party! she was so excited and i don't blame her, i remember exactly how exciting it was to go to a birthday party as a kid.

there was a face painter, which madeline was so excited about... she is love with having her face painted and sat very still as it was done... she was excited too though, as all the girls at the party had dressed up as elsa from frozen and she was the only anna. she loves to be her because "i have red hair like anna!"

maddie with the face painter

madeline is so in love with myra, every time she sees her she wants to touch her face and cuddle her. someone needs to get this kid a little sister! haha

see what i mean? she is so madly in love with her!

setita with her frozen presents from us 

and with her family ♥

seriously though, the highlight of the day... the amazing cake! seriously. i have never seen anything like it... especially seeing as the girl who made it has apparently never made a fancy cake before. that is some crazy talent right there!

and just for good measure an awesome shot of the birthday princesses younger brother. adorable.

thanks for having us at your party setita, we had an awesome time! xxx

ruby's frozen party

today maddie and i got to attend ruby's frozen party! ruby is a girl in maddie's nursery class at church who maddie talks about all the time, "ruby's my best friend..." so she was super excited, and even more so when we told her it was a frozen party. i think every little girl i can think of right now is completely obsessed.

ruby's mum did such a good job though... the kids played musical statues and pass the parcel to songs from the frozen soundtrack, pin the tail on sven (the reindeer from the movie), had a little lunch with frozen themed food... marshmallows (the big scary snowman in the movie is called marshmallow), carrots (cause sven likes them), popcorn (looks like snow), blue jelly (looks like frozen water) and drank from water bottles with funky printed frozen labels...

but the coolest game? they got to build a snowman of their very own! such an amazing idea! here is maddies... she was so excited to make one and then show it off to me. ruby's mum also made a frozen cake, with white snow icing, blue toffee ice and the characters from the movie. so cool. (pun intended.)

and just when i thought there was nothing else that they could possibly do to make it any better, along comes an ice cream truck. can't get much "cooler" than that!! the kids were stoked and so were the big kids, as ruby's parents bought us all one too.

ruby and her cousin blowing out the candles at the end of the day... i feel so lucky to know people so kind to invite us to their childrens special occasions and i know madeline had such a good time... there was even a goodie bag with blue easter eggs and a frozen "kinder surprise" egg, which i know a certain little girl can't wait to open!

coolest party ever!
