Theme Day Fun

All of these theme days are not in order, for that I appologize, but as I find them on my computer I can't help but add them...

Based on this picture can you guess this theme???

if you guessed aMARIOr, then you were right!

Fantastic cake? Compliments of our daughters Sarah and Katie. They are so talented.

At the very beginning of the night, Sarah, Kate and Annie Laurie passed out shirts for everyone...we quickly changed and enjoyed so many fun activities!

The first of these activities was...can you guess...

Wii

TV #1

TV #2

                                                                                    TV #3

TV #4 

And some of us preferred to play basketball

Others of us loved on babies during this 

Wii fanfare

Then it was time for some Mario centered games

There was a matching game- just like in the old Mario Nintendo 64

Then...Pin the Tail on Mario!!!

Followed by some Mario Wii Olympics

Some of us were just SO worn out...

You know what they say about all play and no work...

And how could I resist adding this cute one of Essie???

The End

FROZEN

Here at the ranch we LOVE to celebrate movies that carry a good message, the most recent celebration was in honor of Clarissa going on a mission.

This is our B-E-A-Utiful Clarissa! 

 First we wrote our names on a piece of paper...

Then we crumpled them up into "snowballs" and threw them!

   We all picked them up and wrote what we loved about the person whose paper we got and the process started all over!

It was a blast!  

Of course the babies were a bit young for this so they played together. Doesn't that toy look like fun?

Time to "Let it Go" by coloring our snowflakes

Ok, so I know you are all wondering where Olaf is in all of this...

he's up next...

He's SO cute! Kate made these marshmallows from scratch and the best part? They are SUGAR FREE!!!

TIME FOR DINNER!

       Can you guess the theme?

The "Big" kids were required to use at least four pieces of bread in their sandwich

This was not quite as hard a feat for the boys...

Now I can guess that you are asking, "Where is Ana?" She made a grand entrance...

Kate made us some homemade strawberry ice cream, it was DELICIOUS!

The umbrellas were a hit among the little ones

AND

the not so little ones

I know I have mentioned this before, but ALL the treats were SUGAR FREE! How cool is that!
