Partying with Rapunzel

All Ellie has been talking about since Christmas is her birthday and not just any birthday a Rapunzel Party. Since it's all I've been hearing about we decided that is just what we would have for her friends. I spent some time online and found some adorable ideas. The weekend was spent playing with Will, Abby, and Ryker!!! Sunday night we let her open all her family gifts. She was so excited to see many Rapunzels, including the beloved Tower that we looked at with each and every trip to Target. Brady had a picture of her and Minny put onto canvas that she is so excited to have hang in her room.


That night after the kids fell asleep we decorated with lanterns and banners. Kellie, Brady, and I all managed to put together and decorate a tower cake. It was quite the process, but it turned out perfect. At the party we made some Pascal Party Blowers, played tug of war, hit Flynn with a pan, tag, and a few others. The activities went much faster than a bargained for, but everyone seemed to have a wonderful time. Ellie was so happy and thankful for all her presents and quickly stored them in her room so her little brother couldn't get into them. 
That afternoon she got to go shopping for present from Grandma Haycock. She picked out the Rapunzel dress-up gown and she wears it everyday. Many times she includes her purple cape, because all Princesses have a little super hero in them, right?!? We love that little girl so much and glad she had a fabulous b-day!!!
