Frozen

Marina and I have made it a tradition to see the new Disney movie on the day before Thanksgiving (when  there is one!) We've been seeing lots of ads for this year's feature Frozen. Marina has been dying to see it. McKenna came with us today, apparently Saige needed a break from her busy schedule!

We started the day by getting Marina's hair cut. She loves playing video games while her hair is being done. After the cut, we had it styled in a french braid - just like Elsa in Frozen. Marina even requested light blue and dark blue ribbons.

We went to the mall for a bit and found the American Girl store has a special Merry and Bright outfit which looks much like the snow queen costume in Frozen. We just couldn't resist it. We headed for the Disney Store next where Marina got her own Elsa costume and crown. She was so excited.

 

As we ate lunch, Marina changed McKenna into her new outfit. She tried on her crown as well. We had a nice lunch and Marina got a special dessert for bringing in her doll.

After lunch, Marina changed into the Elsa costume. She loved it, especially the train  in the back. We were ready to see the movie.As we walked in, many of the other children pointed out Marina's costume. She seemed to revel in being their attention, although she pointed out there was no way anyone would think she was the real Snow Queen.

Frozen had lots of music and a few humorous characters. I noticed at one of the scarier moments Marina was watching intently, but she was covering McKenna's eyes. Apparently it was too intense for her!

Marina loved the movie. Afterward, she told me she wished the crown we bought had real power. That makes me wonder what she'd do with it!
