Esme's Fifth Birthday: Frozen Party

This year we decided to let the kids have "friend birthday parties" for the first time. Usually we limit our guest list to family, but  Esme reeeeeeeeally wanted a party at the park with her girls. Oh, and by the way, she wanted it to be a "Frozen" party. So there we were:

Doing it at the park was nice in some ways, because we didn't have to plan too much in the way of activities. We kept it simple and let them enjoy the playground.

And we did play just one game: Pin the Nose on Olaf.

Hey, you only turn five once!
