Shelby's 4th Birthday Party!

We celebrated Shelby's 4th birthday with a Frozen themed party at Chuck E. Cheese! Shelby really wanted to have her party at Peter Piper Pizza, but they don't have a great set-up for parties so we convinced her that we should have her party at Chuck E. Cheese & her birthday dinner at Peter Piper Pizza. Thankfully, she obliged. ;)  It was such an easy party to plan & super low-key, but Shelby had a BLAST and felt so loved! Mission accomplished!!!

Last year Shelby helped me pick out her invitation on Etsy for her party, so I knew I wanted to do that again this year with her. She was so easy to please--her only requirement was that the invite had all of the characters on it (Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Hans, Kristoff, & Sven). Other than that, she gave me free reign! Score! But wouldn't you know in my haste of trying to get them ordered quickly, I accidently ordered an invitation without Hans.

You should have seen Shelby's face when she saw that invitation without Hans--it was like she was literally heartbroken! I don't think I've ever seen her so sad! I felt so bad that she had one measly request, and I totally blew it! Thankfully, it was just a seven dollar mistake and easily fixed! :)  When I showed her the invitation below, she gave me the biggest hug & thank you ever.

Aside from invitations, all we did was order coordinating cupcake toppers on Etsy & cupcakes at HEB, picked up balloons at Party City (considering how much Shelby played with those balloons, that was some of the best fifteen bucks we've ever spent!!), and party favors (Frozen books I ordered on Amazon). Easy! Now, on to the party pictures! They're a bit out of order b/c some are from my camera & some are from my dad's, and I'm too lazy to put them all in the correct order. ;)

All of the big kids
Aside from my parents, all of our Keesler friends that are now living in SA--the Barron (Ella & Anya), Gallimore (Grace & Baby Ana), & Goins (Adam & Baby Will) families--joined us to celebrate Shelby's birthday!

A classic mean expression from Hadley ;) 

We sang "Happy Birthday" to Shelby at our table, and then they sang to her again during the "Live Show" so she got to blow out candles twice!

Ticket Blaster with Adam
The birthday kid gets to go in with another person to grab as many tickets as they can. Derek & I assumed one of us would go in there with her, but as soon as her party host said she could take someone with her Shelby immediately grabbed Adam's hand & went in. ;)  They had a lot of fun!!

I have no idea what this game was, but Shelby spent a lot of time on it!!!

Hadley saying cheese!

It was such a fun day celebrating our big FOUR year old!! And speaking of birthdays, this was a big birthday week for our family--we've got Pop-Pop, Auntie Em, and Granddad all with birthdays within 3 days of each other! We hope each of you had a WONDERFUL birthday! Wish we could have been there to give y'all birthday hugs! We love you!
