Elsa came to my party!!!!

So I should of known better but I did it. I typed in "Frozen birthday party" into Pinterest and I was now doomed. Doomed that the bar is now that much higher than what I was planning. At least Natallie won a free gymnastics party at Phoenix gymnastics so I wouldn't have to plan Frozen crafts or games. And to be honest, I kinda enjoyed making a giant cheeseball that looked like Olaf and jello cups for Olaf's swimming pool. Since Natallie is not the only child on the Frozen bandwagon, finding Frozen decor was hard to find hence the "snowman in summer" theme instead because it is waaaaay easier to find Hawaiian decor in July than snowflakes. However, I was stoked on finding the poster at Walmart when we were in Seattle and did a little happy dance at Sears when I found an Olaf shirt for Natallie. And when the manager of Dollarma checked every box of inventory and rounded up 10 Frozen balloons I was ecstatic.
 All set! Wanna have some fun now?

 The balloons were a total hit. Before the gymnastics coaches were ready, the kids happily ran around in circles wacking eachother with the balloons. Honestly, even if there was not giant foam pit or trampolines, I think the kids would of been just as happy with this.

The best surprise about the Frozen party was that the gymnastics coach looked like Elsa. Like seriously. She had the platinum blonde hair braided to one side and was more than happy to play the part. She put on a blue shirt (because Elsa cant do gymnastics in her signature dress) and introduced herself as Elsa. The look on Natallie's face was priceless. She was speechless for most of the party but for days afterwards all we heard from her was "Elsa came to my party! Elsa came to my party!"

Elsa came to my party!!!!

The kids loved the gymnastics part. what's not to love? Trampolines, bars, beams, giant foam fit and lots and lots of room to run. I didn't get a lot of good pictures but here's the best of the happy, blurry children. Thank you to Rainbow and Brian for capturing some of these shots.

 I was worried Noah would be super cranky since the party was right during his usual nap time but he was happy to wow me that he could be a future gymnast.

So take all that and then ...

Add cake.

And add more food.

And presents.

And then back in the gym for parachute games.

And a Frozen freezie for every friend

And that's basically the best birthday a three year old could ask for.

Happy birthday Natallie!
