Fire and Ice

Today was the much anticipated joint birthday party for the Nelson kids.  Walker wanted a fire truck theme and EK wanted Frozen, so with those 2 very similar themes in mind, "Fire and Ice" was born.  We decided to have the party at the church and take advantage of the gym!  I had fun with the decorations and getting everything together.  Here are a few snapshots...


 The Cookie Mama did not disappoint!!! The cookies were ADORABLE!!!!!

 We snagged some family photos before all our friends arrived.  Our families were HUGE helps today (and everyday!)  The party was only possible because of ALL of their help!!! Thanks guys!





 Aunt Carolyn is just so much fun!
 Thanks to Haley for documenting our day in pictures!!! You are awesome!

 My sweet big girl asked her friends to bring food items instead of gifts to be donated to a local food pantry.  It was completely her idea and I love how compassionate she is.  We have so much to be grateful for and it is just so special to see her heart for the less fortunate.

Walker had to check out the goods.  He of course picked a box of rice.  He eats rice for every meal!

 The kids played and played in the gym.  We had "pin the nose on Olaf."
 The girls made their own wands.
 The boys did a lot of running
 and jumping in the bouncy house.  They all actually LOVED the bouncy house!!!!

 We did a little ball toss game
 and threw the hula hoop on the fire extinguisher.
 Well, in theory the hula hoop was for the fire extinguisher game....
 Walker chased around the love of his life for a while as well.
 After playing so hard, it was time to eat! EK requested ice cream for her "Frozen" food.  So, we had all the fixings for ice cream sundaes.  So fun!!!  She loaded up on the gummy bears...shocker.
 Time to sing!!!


We are so thankful to all our sweet friends who came to the party.  Here are just a few more pictures of some of the party guests.




These two have my heart! It was so fun getting to celebrate them!
