Frozen Party | Olaf Party | #DisneySide home celebration

We certainly showed our Disney Side this weekend, throwing a party with a Frozen theme, featuring the more boyish side with Olaf, Sven, and Kristoff in honor of the birthday boy.
As I mentioned earlier, I was selected to host a #DisneySide home celebration, and received luggage and Mickey & friends party supplies-which we plan to use for another party, because we couldn't resist a Frozen party.
First, we set the tone with this ticket invitation: 
No decorations outside necessary; the morning of the party, our place had the eternal Winter look down perfectly.

Here's a look at some of the decorations:
Silver & white balloons were strung on white ribbon and hung from ceiling above Olaf. While snowflakes dangled from the chandelier.

Reindeer food (Chex & Cheerios cereal, peanuts, pretzels, & M&Ms covered in white chocolate) berry-blue flavored water, white cheddar popcorn & Olaf noses were perfect for munching.


We kept the house full of 8 year olds occupied with a few snowman activities: 
Do you wanna build a snowman? 
I made individual kits ahead: Marshmallows: 3 regular & 2 mini. Toothpicks: 2, 1 cut in half, and 1/2 toothpick pushed into the center of an orange Mike-n-Ike for the nose. 
We used black gel tubes to add buttons & faces. The snowman treats were gobbled up immediately after assembled! No toothpicks eaten, phew.
Next up: Teams were formed, 1 snowman selected in each group. Groups were set equidistant from a central location and given 2 rolls of toilet paper, a hat & scarf. 
The object: Wrap your snowman, topped with hat & scarf & get your snowman to the central base without "melting" (toilet paper falling off). Winner had the least melting (and got to eat the piece of cake with Olaf's face on it-most coveted piece.)


We did a little ice magic too using this tutorial.

The birthday boy is quite creative himself, and was in charge of the cake & favor. He chose an edible image for the cake and it was a HUGE hit-there were a few broken hearts over getting a piece with a face.

We love this clever idea & printable to use as a favor. He chose fire balls & rock candy to represent "The HOT & the COLD".  I won't soon forget picking through the bulk bin for the icy blue colored rock candy, both Carter & I giggling. 
He's a great kid. Tucking him in after the party, he said it was the best day of his life. He melts me. As Olaf says, "Some people are worth melting for."

  7. Professionals use Tableau as a tool to make interactive data dashboards and other engaging data visualisations. These dashboards can be distributed to organisational decision-makers and executives, enabling them to immediately spot patterns and trends in massive amounts of data. Additionally, people can utilise interactive data visualisation dashboards to cut and dice data in various ways to study how inputs may change broad patterns and trends.
    Because Tableau is a user-friendly product, even people with no prior technical knowledge may learn how to use it. This product is really well-liked because it is simple to understand. It appeals to both small enterprises and big corporations like Whole Foods, Verizon, and Cigna because of its adaptability, simplicity, and capacity to visualise massive volumes of data. Tableau is also used by public institutions like state and local governments to organise and present their data.
    Tableau Features
    The fact that Tableau has both premium and free versions will be appreciated by anyone who is interested in learning how to use it. Even on a tight budget, people may learn how to organise, analyse, and visualise their data using this program. One of its products, for instance, stores data in the cloud in a way that allows everyone to examine the data and visualisations; of course, this feature is excellent for people who aren't dealing with sensitive data!
