Olaf “In Summer” Party

With the release of Frozen 2 this past month, everyone is loving their favorite characters again, especially Olaf. I wanted to share a birthday party from June of 2014.

My daughter and her best friend both wanted a Frozen Birthday party.  The problem was they both had June birthdays. How do you do a Frozen birthday party in the summer?

You throw an Olaf “In Summer” combined birthday party. 

As Olaf would say in Frozen 2, “I’ll Bring the Snacks!”

My friend painted this amazing Olaf stand up on a cardboard box.  The kids all loved him and had to have their pictures taken with him. 

She also made this great Olaf piñata from three balloons, paper mâché and pipe cleaners.  Isn’t she amazing? 

I made a cake using fondant for the first time ever.  It was actually very easy.  

Using the left over fondant, I rolled little Olaf snowmen for the tops of the cupcakes.  For those who have more time, you can really make them look a lot more like Olaf with a few more details. Like a cute little carrot nose and some hair and eyes. But I was running short on time and the kids loved the cupcakes just the way they were.

Sorry for the poor lighting from 2014. Olaf would say, “Because when you’re older, absolutely everything makes sense.”

The kids were invited to come in their swimsuits.  We had a kiddie pool, slip and slide, and other fun water games for them to play.  We also had my mother’s professional ice shaver for some great snow cones. 

If you want an amazing gift that keeps on giving, give them this snow cone maker!!! We gave it to my mom for Mother’s Day with my siblings a few years back and it was the best gift we ever gave her. Everyone loves to have a snow cone at grandma’s during the summer and you don’t have to have little frozen cups of water just for it. It uses any ice you have from your freezer or a bag of ice from the store. I HIGHLY recommend this!
