Disney movie night: Frozen

Our Frozen movie night was one of my favorites so far! 

We got out a bunch of Frozen puzzles from Target's dollar section, a Frozen look and find book, and some Frozen loom bands to have for our activities throughout the movie. 

We had sandwiches ("we finish each other's sandwiches"), chips, Olaf's nose carrots, melted snow to drink (water).

Then we had some chocolate fondue with fruit.

At the end of the night we had some ice cream.

Disney autograph books

I finished the autograph books for our upcoming trip and also made a little Pumpkin bow for Maddy! The autograph pages are from the awesome designers on the Dis boards.

Disney movie night: Monsters Inc.

For our Monsters, Inc.night we had monster sandwiches, chips, monster drinks, graham cracker and frosting doors, and monster buckets with popcorn in them.

I was going to have the girls decorate doors but they wanted to play Disney Headbanz instead.

Frozen skirts

Cinderella dress

I knew I wanted to make the dress for Maddy's first Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique experience.

But how to find out what she would want without telling them about the trip?

I just have been telling the girls maybe next year we will go.

So, originally (6 months ago) Maddy said she wanted to have an Aurora blue dress. 

I thought out my design and when I went shopping for fabric I got fabric that would look good as an Aurora blue dress.

Well, before I could sew it she had changed her mind and wanted a Cinderella blue dress. 

I thought- great. That will be even easier as I already have an actual Cinderella pattern. 

But when I finished it I just wasn't satisfied. 

I felt like the colors looked weird and the style seemed plain. 

These pictures are from the night I first finished it.... (the bodice is actually a little darker than it showed up in these pictures but not quite as dark as it shows up in the bottom pictures. )

I kept thinking about it and thinking about it and I just knew that I needed to add something. 

Finally I checked to see if I had enough fabric to make ruffles along the bottom in the two colors used for the bodice and the puffs. 

I did!

Now, there wasn't enough to make them as roughly as I kind of wanted and it is imperfect but I think the end result is SO much better.

Cinderella movie night

Our Cinderella movie night was so much fun! 

We set up some of our favorite Cinderella themed things with the cupcakes we made. 

We each had our own small pumpkin filled with Cheesy Potato Soup.

After dinner Abi painted her big pumpkin for a school project.

this is what it looked like when she was all done.

Maddy played with her Cinderella Lego Duplos. 

Sofia the first Skirt

I used the apron ruffle skirt pattern to make this Sofia the first themed skirt for Abi for the trip! I love how it turned out.

Disney Movie Night: Princess and the Frog

For our Princess and the Frog movie night we used our Princess cookbook. 

I saw the Bayou meatloaf recipe in it but made my own recipe because I have never tasted another meatloaf I like. Then I made Southern Spoon bread and we had corn with it.

I also attempted to make beignets. They were pretty good but a little over cooked.

We also had out chocolate frogs.

Afterward we played Kiss the Frog.

Disney Movie Night: Wreck It Ralph

This was one of my favorite movie nights to date. 

It is just such a fun movie and it really holds everyone's attention.

For dinner we had meatloaf "cupcakes" with mashed potato frosting and topped with "Sour Bill" peas. 

We had Diet Pepsi (caffeine free) for our drink because of the volcano with the cola in it.

For dessert I gave each person a plate with an individual peanut butter container, some mini doughnuts, pretzel sticks, apples, and candy to decorate our own Sugar Rush cars. I was going to do something like Twinkies or wafer cookies for the body of the car but I am so glad I went with apples instead. I wanted something that wasn't candy for the cars and it tasted so much better to have one thing that wasn't.

Our cars...

Abi's was... interesting. I have no idea why she piled the tires on top. 

But it was cute and she loved it. However it way too sweet and she couldn't finish even half of it.

For our activity the girls colored pictures of Vanellope.

Out of order but here is Maddy eating her car before I could get a picture of it!

The finished drawings...
