Helen got to have a birthday party with her friends this week. Since her birthday was during Christmas break, it worked better for us to have her party after we were settled back in at home. Our whole family loved the movie "Frozen" and we used the movie as the theme for the party. Olaf decorated the front door.
We froze Elsa and Anna dolls in cups of water for invitations.
Abe showed the girls how to do the first activity-- making clay Olafs.
Helen and Paige made themselves into snowmen.
Kate made herself a clay mustache.
There wasn't enough room at the table so Gibson sat on the counter.
Here are the finished Olafs before they went into the oven.
The girls made snowflake hair clips for another activity. Adele is choosing rhinestones for her snowflake.
Addi and Clara helped each other. Clara still had her snowman eyebrows on.
In this photo, Annie is making a reindeer cookie out of a gluten free oreo and pretzels.
Here is Sophie with her reindeer cookie. There is a reindeer named Sven in the movie.
Here is Helen's birthday cake.
Happy Birthday, Helen!
Here are all the girls together. Helen had a great time at her party and the other girls seemed to enjoy themselves, too. Nine is such a delightful age.
In other news of the week, Sofi's school elections were on Friday. Our family helped her out by taping paper tags that said "Vote Sofi the Zombie Slayer" onto more than 500 tootsie rolls, a reference to the video she made for the election. We're thankful Sofi goes to a small school! The election results will be announced on Tuesday.
Sofi dressed as a beatnik for school on Wednesday. We're not sure what beatniks are, but Sofi looked pretty cute in her black wig.
Brandan showed Sofi how to make pulla, a Finnish bread, for her Personal Progress goal this week. They made three big loaves. Sofi took 2 of them to her Sunday School class today and they were devoured.
Becky showed Abe how to iron and he ironed his own shirt and pants for church today.
