The Birthday Girl
as Rapunzel
My mom made her this awesome Rapunzel "hair" that she wears all around the house.
(ignore the lovely garbage on our lawn that I didn't manage to pick up before I took the pictures)
Kaleb as Flynn Rider

The tower is Brayden's piece of cake. I was making it throughout the week prior to her party and she had been eyeing it and couldn't wait to get her hands on it.

The tower is Brayden's piece of cake. I was making it throughout the week prior to her party and she had been eyeing it and couldn't wait to get her hands on it. Mmmm, fondant and gum paste.
She seemed to like it. All the kids wanted a share of the flowers and leaves as well.
As the guests arrived at the party they all danced around to the Rapunzel music. They each came dressed in princess/Rapunzel dresses. Once everyone arrived they sat down in the "canoe" that Brandon had put together at the last minute in the middle of the floor out of blankets and some wood scraps we had in the garage.
I read a somewhat condensed version of the Rapunzel story to them. I was surprised how glued they were to the book.
After the story they each had to find their own "Pascal" chameleon that was hidden all around the room.
We taped him to their shoulder.
Then we went on a hunt for the "flower."
At Brayden's request we played "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, Flynn Rider" (duck, duck, goose). Brayden came up with the name.
They next played "Pin the Hair on the Tower." The girls each had a long braid of hair and Kaleb had a satchel to pin up.
Next they played the "Feed Maximus" relay. They had to fill up Maximus' trough by putting "food" in a frying pan and getting it to him as fast as they could.

Then we went on a hunt for the "flower."I had it hidden in the darkest place in the house (the bathroom) where it glowed in the dark.
They brought it back to the canoe and each took a turn holding it.
They were very gentle with the flower.

After they sang Happy Birthday, ate cake, and opened presents they each colored a Rapunzel picture while waiting to take turns going in the tower.

Brayden made such a beautiful birthday princess and she is so grateful for all the gifts she received and all those who came to her party.

The more I see what you do, the more I realize that we aren't nearly that creative! You're making the rest of us look bad, not that we need much help.
