Some super ideas here. I second the motion that Elsa is out this year, though I'm sure my granddaughter would just adore being Elsa - she was a party this weekend where they had a real live Elsa!

That is a great list, very inspiring!!! I'm really hoping NOT to see any more Elsa costumes. It got tiring last year.
