Arctic Plunge-J's THIRD Birthday

Many of our close friends and family spent their Saturday night with us celebrating J's third birthday at the local Y's indoor pool. We decided to make the theme Arctic friends since we were swimming in November. All of his little pals thought it was cool to be swimming in almost December! The pool water was plenty warm with snowman beach balls for everyone! My mom and I put our heads together to try to make the food and party favors coordinate with our theme. So, we came up with lots of white foods for the snowy look (white chocolate Oreos, white chocolate covered pretzels, marshmallows, powdered sugar key lime cookies, and sandwiches), blue foods to symbolize the water(blue jello, blue polar blast drinks)and different kinds of goldfish since many Arctic animals eat fish. It was so much fun! Each friend went home with a snowman beach ball, polar bear bubbles, penguin stickers, two little polar animals, polar bear animal cookies, and a polar bear lollipop. Did I also mention that J LOVES the book, Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? Here are a few pics from the party.
