Carter's 5th Birthday

My Carter Bear turned 5 this past Saturday! My little, soon to be middle, has grown up so quickly. He is such a cool, easy-going guy who had an interesting opinion about what type of birthday party he wanted to have.

Me: What kind of party do you want to have this year, buddy?
Him: Ummmm...a Frozen and Power Rangers one.
Me: Which one? Frozen or Power Rangers?
Him: Both!
Me: Both? Together?
Him: Yes! I want them all mixed up!

Okaaaaaay. So Frozen/Power Rangers it was! (People commented that the party theme was "so Carter.") I love matching colors and themes and the sort...I just had to let go of all of that this year and make it the most awesome "Frozen Rangers" party ever!

I got Frozen plates and Power Rangers napkins, a Mylar balloon of each with other blue balloons to compliment (I did find a common color between the both!) - all purchased at Party City. Goodie bags consisted of PR sunglasses (Party City), PR stickers (Party City), PR tattoos (Party City), Frozen activity book (Target $ Spot), Frozen puzzle (Target $ Spot), and Frozen stickers (5 Below).

I got creative with the food to make it more fun. Our menu consisted of:

• Mighty Morphin' Nuggets (Chick-Fil-A nugget platter with assorted sauces)
• Kristoff's Ice (blue jello cut into cubes)
• Samurai Swords (grapes and watermelon on skewers)
• Olaf's Noses (carrots and ranch)
• Olaf's Arms (pretzel sticks)
• Arendelle-Land of All Things Frozen (a make-your-own ice cream sundae bar)
• Blue Ranger Coolers (blue koolaid, as well as soda and water for the adults)

 After taking a few selfies with Daddy, Carter had a great time playing in our church's FunZone with his friend and cousins. He opened some great presents that really excited him like a soccer ball and goal (he's played with that EVERY day since) and a Power Rangers book bag (as soon as he opened it, he exclaimed, "I can take this to Kindergarden!!!). I have videos of the kids (mostly boys) singing along to the Frozen soundtrack I had playing in the background. It was such a fun day. I really appreciate everyone coming out to celebrate my sweet Carter Bear. And to those who weren't able to make it (for lots of understandable reasons), you were greatly missed!
