I've seen this thread many times one rate years - or others like it anyhow
but never came over to visit. I wish i had!!
Love these ideas. This is the first year my girls are big enough to really get excited about a trip - time has more meaning so we're letting them know about the trip more than a month out.
I think we'll incorporate a few theme nights into our countdown. According to their countdown (it's slightly longer than the real countdown)
The pirate fairy is released on day 151, soI want to plan something for day 150 with the Pirate Fairy as a theme.
Any ideas for a Frozen night as the movie is going to be released soon? Thanks!
We just had 2 Frozen birthdays - one in dec and one in Feb
I made a cake with pale blue frosting, then made Royal Icing Snowflakes to put on top.
We had a punch bowl full of water and a carrot - I stamped up a sign with 'Melted Snowman' on it. It's amazing how much water those kids drank
We had a 'Paper Fractal Making Station' (Paper snowflakes)
I had a "Would You Like To Paint A Snowman" station - with homemade puff paint - one part white glue, one part lightly/unscented shaving FOAM, lots of white/pale blue glitter, and peppermint extract - mix and put in the fridge for an hour or so before use - it works without being in the fridge, but for snowmen it's fun to have cold paint. It takes awhile to dry, but was tons of fun for the kids.
For the adults I had a "Norwegian Coffee Cake Latte" station - a latter made with almond milk and a dash of Cardamon - or regular milk and almond syrup or a minuscule amount of almond extract would work as well.
I used a circuit cake to cut sliced cheese and meats into snowflake shapes - a cookie cutter would work as well.
Oh and for DH - b/c he's like that - I had chocolate covered (decaf) coffee beans labeled 'Reindeer Droppings" The kids thought it was hilarious.
I had so much fun getting it all ready.
