The perfect theme for a 'Sister Party'

A Frozen Celebration

I have been struggling for months to think of something worthy of my first blog post... Nothing I had to say seemed 'important' enough for such a momentous occasion! Silly really, since this isn't my first blog. I had a blog about a year ago and posted every now and then with my random ramblings about this or the other, so I decided there is no time like the present to get the ball rolling again.

Welcome back to the Fresh blog!!

This is a photo-heavy and wordiness-light post (just the way I like it!) about the party we threw for my two gorgeous girls over the weekend. Really, what better theme could there be for two girls to have a shared party?!

Here are some shots of our Frozen extravaganza :)

When the guests arrived, the kids each collected a crown (Elsa and Anna crowns were made using the FREE Comfy Crown pattern which you can find HERE, Olaf crowns were made using the NEW Snowman Crown pattern which you can find HERE)





I didn't get the greatest photo of the set up (was too busy running around like a chook with no head!) but you get the idea from this one.. We decided to go for a 'balloon free' party so the decorations were all tissue paper (tassles, pom poms and snowflakes sewn end to end hanging from the pergola).


The biggest hit at the party (besides the arrival of 'The Real Elsa') was the snowball fight - the kids went nuts and had SO much fun.



The menu was all Frozen related..

  • Kristof's Ice Picks (Basil/Feta/Tomato picks)
  • Coronation Salad
  • Veggie Sticks with a 'snowman' hommus in the middle
  • Sandwichs ("We finish each others...")
  • Sven Snacks (fruit cups)
  • Olaf arms (pretzels)
  • Olaf buttons (Sultana's)
  • Snowflake Cookies
  • Crackers with snowflake cheese
  • Melted Olaf (iced water with a carrot and two grapes in it)
  • Frozen Waters (Mint/Blueberry lemonade)





I loved seeing how excited the kids were when 'The Real Elsa' arrived. She had them in stitches for an hour and a half! If you are in Sydney - I VERY highly recommend Stardust Kids for party entertainment.



And finally (of course!) some photos of our beautiful birthday girls in their mummy-made dresses.



Oh, I almost forgot! The CAKE!!! This was a bit of a mission.. Time consuming, but not particularly difficult. I followed the recipe from Disney Kids Party Cakes (which you can purchase HERE). So chuffed with how it turned out!



Well, that brings me to the end of my first blog post!! I promise the next one won't be SO picture heavy :P

Until next time,
