After picking Elianna up from school, we picked her friend Natalie up to go with us to Frozen's Ice Palace at the Cherry Creek Mall. Technically it was supposed to be a surprise, but I had to threaten with taking it away from her due to bad behavior namely not wanting to put her jacket on outside. We are so spoiled here in CO! Although it may only be in the 40s it feels like it is in the 60s and it's hard to put on a coat when it feels so good outside.
The ice palace was more talked up than it really was but to two 5 year olds who LOVE Frozen, it was majestic! Of course, they make you go through and pay for a picture with a stuffed Olaf (really?) and then Santa but some mommas (especially ones who don't feel so good) are not to be swayed. They at first let us in and then kicked us out so they could clean the ice palace so we headed over to the play place. After playing there about 20 minutes, they kicked us out of there to clean that. I will say I'm impressed with all the cleaning and disinfecting they do there.
We got a lot of "Oh look, Elsa and Anna!"
Between them wanting you to pay for a picture with Olaf and pay for a picture with Santa was a waiting area where they had fake snow falling from the sky. It was the highlight!
After the ice palace, Natalie came back home with us and helped us make more Jingle Bell Balls since all the ones made yesterday were eaten already. It was nice to have Elianna play with her friends from Wellspring. We don't get to see them very often and I know she misses them. I have planned a special day for each girl to come with us on an Advent activity. It will be good for Elianna!
