Disney Movie Rewards: Double Points Day!

Disney Movie Rewards is having 12 Days of Cheer!  It started yesterday, but sadly I missed it.  Anyone know what it was?

Well, today's looks like it's double points day for up to 2 codes!  Do you have some Disney movies you're going to give your kids for Christmas?  My kids are little enough not to care if I go open them and then still wrap them up for Christmas and give them to them, so I was able to grab double points on 2 movies!  I'm not sure if the double points would go on the ABC Family 5 points they give, but I'm entering these codes first just in case, since I'd rather get double points on 100 points than just on 5.  If you don't have movies laying around, then we'll keep our fingers crossed that you get double points on the 5 from ABC Family since every little bit helps.

Frog Birthday Party

My very talented sister just did the cutest frog birthday party for my nephew and I had to share her ideas!  These invitations were my only contribution to the party.

For party hats, she made these adorable frog hats.  They were a huge hit!

She planned so many fun games, like frog races with these little plastic frogs, leap frog, a race where you try to blow your "bug" using a party blower for your frog tongue (so cute!), and the balloon pop game where you had to jump like a frog to pop each other's balloons.

My very talented mom made these amazing frog cake pops.  The kids loved them!

Here's the darling frog cake.

This was such a fun party!

Elf on the Shelf - Playing Your Favorite Christmas Game

Our very favorite Christmas game is The Grinch's Sing Your Heart Out!

Well, our little elf must have seen us playing it and wanted to join in the fun, because we found him the middle of a game!  The kids were excited to finish it up for him.

Elf on the Shelf - Christmas Lists

We needed to narrow down our Christmas lists this year, so we enlisted the help of our little Elf friend!

The kids found him hiding under the Christmas tree holding a paper for each of them to write their Christmas lists on.  When they were finished, they gave him back the lists.  In the morning the lists were gone and the kids knew they had safely taken to the North Pole and given to Santa Claus.

Elves love Christmas, so we weren't surprised to find him hiding in our holly berry wreath!  I think he looks cute up there, and makes it more Christmas-y!

The kids woke up to find their elf on the Christmas tree, holding a new Christmas movie for them to watch tonight!  They thought it was so nice of him!  :)
