happy birthday to daddy

free frozen fun

the library had a frozen craft and activity event today. since Q was off at a cub scout indoor waterpark trip, pickle and i checked it out

first, she built a snowman.

such focus.

then she made a snowball popper.

and followed it up with a game of frozen memory.

then we moved on to the bling... wand making!

then we took a break from crafting to do the scavenger hunt. they had clues hidden all over the library, a frozen word for each letter of the alphabet (as long as you're willing to give them "axe" for x.)

she was on a mission.

success!

and back to crafts.

an elsa bookmark.

and a princess crown!

excellent use of two hours!!
