Teya's 8th Birthday: March 1st 2014

So I'm over a year behind on my blog. And would've just given up on it long ago, but Taber and the girls absolutely love the blog books. Teya especially reads them over and over and always wants more. So for family history sake, I'm going to try to catch up on a YEAR's worth of blogging. Slow and steady, a post a day, and hopefully in a few months I'll get there. : ) To start off, Teya the great turns 8!!

She wanted to have a Frozen party, of course. And all the Elsa dresses were sold out EVERYWHERE because Frozen was ALL the rage at that time, so we ordered a snow princess dress that looked kind of Elsa-ish and she loved it. 

The night before her birthday we went shopping for a few last minute birthday items and Teya insisted on wearing her dress. The cashier at Trader Joe's was very impressed with her fancy attire and asked her why she was wearing it. When she told him it was her birthday he said, "Well hold on just a minute..." Then he grabbed some flowers, paid for them, and handed them to the birthday girl. She was beaming with giddiness. 

The next morning she woke up and requested ego Waffles with strawberries and cream for her birthday breakfast. Easy peasy!

Her birthday was on a Saturday so it was a lazy morning. She opened presents from Mom and Dad and Brinley and Grandma Karen. 

Then Teya and Cam helped mommy make Teya's Frozen birthday cake, which was blue, of course. 

I bought an edible personalized frosting topper and it was the easiest cake I ever made. 

 We spent the rest of the day decorating, cleaning, and preparing for the party. Everything was set to perfection. 

Then Teya's little friends started showing up, we told them to dress Frozen-y. They all looked great!

I also enlisted several of my Young Women to come and help run the party, since Nori was just barely a few weeks old I figured I'd need some backup. 

 The Young women were great. They painted everyone's nails all blue and sparkly. 

And helped them make little marshmallow Olaf snowmen. 

 Then they gave them french braids, just like Elsa. 

 We finished off with a piñata, because every good party needs a piñata! Then the girls sang "Let it Go" At the top of their lungs while we sprinkled snowy glitter on their heads. 

Then it was cake time!

 Cake and cuties!

Everyone had a great time. Including Cam and his pink jammies. (I'm actually kind of sad he grew out of his pink phase, those were good times. ;)

 And the birthday girl was very grateful for everything. Sure love our little Teya tot.
