For Adaya's second birthday this year I wanted to make it really special so that she would associate her birthday as a day just for her rather than a day that is slammed into the busyness of the Christmas season. So I set aside a day that worked into the schedule of when her birthday surprise would be here and chose December 2nd to celebrate her big day! She celebrated her 2nd birthday on the second. Maybe that should be a new tradition to do it the day number of her age! Anyways, Adaya lately has been obsessed with GO! Everything is either GO! or Paw Patrol! If your family is familiar with the movie Frozen you will understand that our little code word of GO! stems from the very popular and overplayed song Let it Go!
So what better way to celebrate a birthday then to go watch Frozen on Ice dressed as the disney princesses. After Halloween we scored the Disney princess dresses of Elsa and Anna for super cheap!! My word of advice if you can figure out your next year's Halloween costume the year before you can get it for cheap! I was grateful we got the dresses because we didn't tell the girls where we were going we surprised them when we went in! I also decided that on top of our crazy Christmas season that I wanted to make Adaya's cake... A fondant cake in fact, in the shape of Olaf! It turned out okay for my first attempt.
My bottom cake kind of melted so that Olaf looked like the leaning tower of Pizza and then my middle cake crumbled so I made it into a gigantic cake pop but other than that I was pretty happy with how it turned out. I think I am going to attempt an easier fondant cake for Valentine's Day before doing Jessa's for her birthday in April. She has requested a Poppy Cake so we will have to see how ambitious I am feeling at that time of how big it is! Adaya loved the cake when we showed it to her and she kept saying hug!! hug!!! O-off (Olaf) hug!! We opened up our fridge several times that day so that she could see her cake and it was fun to see the magic that comes from a child! I am so happy to have these girls and be their mom!!
Adaya and Jessa really enjoyed their disney on ice performances! Jessa asked if we could watch it again! Our home constantly becomes an ice show where the girls pretend to skate and twirl around creating magical shows for us to watch and enjoy!! I love the hugs the girls give each other as they perform and hold hands as they skate around our living room!
