A Frozen Birthday Surprise

So, the British classic car show wasn't really the height of Violet's birthday celebration.
On Saturday, we had a few dozen friends and family over for a birthday bash, surprise-style, with a secret special guest, as well.

 We convinced Violet to wear her beautiful Anna dress Saturday morning, and Stace took her out to get a doughnut and lunch (she must not have noticed that "lunch" was six pizzas and salad for a crowd).

When they returned, the house was full, and everyone shouted "Happy Birthday" when she came in. She was a bit nervous, and ran back outside to hug Stace's leg.
As she figured out that the houseful were all friends, she warmed up.


 Then, there came a knock at the door, and who should be on the other side, but Queen Elsa! Violet's reaction was priceless: A big smile and even bigger hug for Elsa, who exclaimed, "You're my sister!"

















Back in the fall, I'd purchased a deal from a party company, for a character to come for two hours to entertain up to 20 children for a party. Then, Disney's Frozen came out, and I knew which character we had to have come!

Elsa was great - she sang songs with the children, told them stories, brought a dress-up trunk, organized a treasure hunt, made balloon animals, and painted their faces.

 

 

We all enjoyed Violet's party so much. It was a special day for a special little girl, and we really appreciate all our friends and family who came to spend the day with us.

Violet loved it all too, and loved Queen Elsa spending time with her.
