A Frozen Party & Meal Plan

Happy Sunday all!

We celebrated C's birthday yesterday with all of her requested friends.  It turns out our house seems quite small when there are 12 small children involved!!

It was chaotic in the best way and C really enjoyed herself.

As we were making party preparations that morning, C was just being her usual self, drawing contentedly at the table (in her Elsa dress, of course).

The Elsa cake!

(she was only slightly less self-conscious about being sung to than she was last year)

Sledding in the backyard after cake!

A few lovely gifts from such thoughtful friends!  Thank you all!

N photo bombed this gift-opening picture.  Just had to include that one.

After the entertaining we did over the holiday weeks (wonderful though it was to spend time with everyone) followed almost immediately by this party, I think I am pretty much done with rich party food-- and keeping the house clean for company.  Right now there are dishes piled up in the sink and party favors littering the couch where I'm sitting to write this post, and... well... I think I'm just going to let them sit for a little while.  Sound okay?

I'm sitting on my butt writing a meal plan instead.
