SpongeBob SquarePants Birthday Party Theme
This week, we celebrated my daughter’s 8th birthday with a SpongeBob SquarePants party theme! My kids are big SpongeBob fans. It all started with my oldest, who is now 16 – if you can believe it! She adored the cartoon growing up, so for her 3rd birthday I made her a SpongeBob cake. Little did I know then, but that would be the start of many themed dinners. Since my oldest passed on her love of SpongeBob to her younger siblings, I thought it would be fun to revisit the theme for my younger daughter’s 8th birthday party. Her SpongeBob birthday party featured DIY decorations, party games, and food and…

The Emperor’s New Groove Themed Dinner
This week, we enjoyed a special dinner themed to The Emperor’s New Groove! In this Disney comedy, arrogant Emperor Kuzco is transformed into a llama by his devious advisor, Yzma, in her attempt to usurp the throne. Lost and alone in the jungle, Kuzco is forced to team up with a kind peasant named Pacha to reclaim his throne. The Emperor’s New Groove is one of my favorite Disney films. When it first came out, I was at an age where I thought I was too cool for Disney (shocking, I know!). I eventually ended up watching it with extended family, and I couldn’t stop laughing! The cast of…

Onward Themed Dinner
This week’s Disney Dinner was themed to the family adventure film, Onward! Onward is the story of two teenage elf brothers (Ian and Barley) who embark on a magical quest for the chance to reunite with their departed father. As one would expect from a quest, the boys encounter perilous obstacles, magic spells, and dangerous curses on their exciting journey. Although we don’t see much of the boys’ father, Wilden, his impact in the film makes him one of my favorite Disney Dads. And as we gear up for Father’s Day, I thought it would be fitting to celebrate with an Onward themed dinner! There are TONS of great food…

Oliver and Company Themed Dinner Night
This week, our themed Disney Dinner is inspired by the animated classic, Oliver and Company! This film is loosely based on the story of Oliver Twist and features a lost kitten who joins up with a gang of dogs in New York City. My kids love this movie because it features fun musical numbers, lovable furry friends, and the great city of New York! Not only did we enjoy watching Oliver and Company with this themed dinner, but we also started the evening out by watching a doggie dock diving competition at our local sports store. The kids enjoyed watching the “dock dogs” show off their jumping skills before ending…
