Elizabeth's Tangled Party

This year for the big 4th Birthday, Elizabeth choose to have a Tangled party. This was also the first year where she didn't have the "family party" and went straight for the "friend party." Talk about a fun party to plan for! And a tremendous amount of "Thank Goodness for Pinterest!" I'm one of those type of people who come up with all of these great ideas, find lots of stuff, and then at the last minute it all comes together. Moving it to the backyard was a complete last minute idea....

This was a last minute idea, and I was actually finishing it up when the first guest arrived (granted they were a half hour early but, I still felt kind of like I was running around like a crazy Mom!)

 

 

The cake....Elizabeth picked this one out from a Pintrest picture and then I made my own adjustments to make it more ours. Elizabeth choose the flowers for her cupcakes from Michael's (yep, fake flowers). The roof of the tower was a sugar cone that I frosted, the tower itself is made from mini donuts, the door and the windows are construction paper glued on to the cupcake wrapper, and we completed it with a braid made from yellow yarn. Elizabeth loved it, which always makes all of the time, thought, and creativity to make it all work, totally worth every minute! 

 

 

 

There were hanging lanterns....

 

 

Some Princess crown making....

 

 

 

A handsome Prince...

 

And lots of wonderful friends...

 

 

As you can see from the smiling little girl in the blue shorts with the purple crown, Elizabeth had a wonderful birthday. She loved seeing all of her friends from school, and her cousins Brenna & Mason...And once again, Mommy had the best time planning for this beautiful little girls birthday.
