Before you look up in your calendar which girl has a July birthday to know who's we celebrated, the answer is neither. Xaris is May 2nd, which is always a really busy time (in fact, there are typically 2 big fundraisers at church on the weekend closest to her birthday) and one of her little friends has a birthday 2 days prior to hers. iXy is September 14th.
July just happens to be right in the middle of the two, and not quite so busy.
They both love the movie Frozen (2 sisters, both get to be princesses...it just kind of works), so we had a Frozen party. It was loads of fun, ended up being the most successful party we've had so far. Xaris has only ever had 1 or 2 kids (but several adults) show up at her prior birthday parties--because it's just a bad time! This was a fun evening with lots of friends!
And, did I mention? I GOT AWAY WITH HAVING ONE BIRTHDAY PARTY INSTEAD OF TWO.
I believe I will be doing this for as long as I can get away with it.
The girls birthday gift from Ric and I: their new dresses.
Elsa and Anna hair
Even boys (we had more boys than girls at the party) jumped in on the crafts
Presents
And thank you's
Cupcakes and singing
Beverage station
Frosted or regular pretzels
Mix n match sandwiches (because we finish each other's)
Frozen grapes. Best.Snack.Ever.
This project was fun, amazing, and just pretty cool.
I should have started making snowflakes 2 weeks prior. I forgot how long they take.
