Rapunzel! Rupenzel!

For almost an entire year, Evelyn has wanted to have a "Rupunzel" birthday party. To be honest, I really was hoping she would change her mind, but in the end that truly is what she wanted AND it turned out to be such a fun party and a fun day to celebrate my sweet girl!


Doug did all of the kitchen decorating... and did a stellar job!

Evelyn didn't want to see it until it was all done. This is the moment she saw it.. priceless!!

My sister got her some "Rapunzel Hair" for her birthday. It ended up being too itchy for her to wear for very long, which made her sad. but it she loved the idea!

Ready to party!! 

For the party "activity", we had the girls paint lanterns, like the ones in the movie Tangled.

Party time! Evelyn was all smiles the entire time... such a fun time with her friends!












Doug read the Tangled storybook while the kids had a little snack. He is so good at stuff like this and mostly kept the kids' attention! HAHA!




GIFTS!! She was so blessed by lovely gifts from her friends!





CAKE TIME! Evelyn has been eying a Rapunzel cake at Safeway for almost as long as she has wanted to have a Rapunzel themed party. I usually make the cake, but I decided to just get the one she wanted, which turned out to be really cute.. and tasty!








All smiles when it was finished!! Love my girl!


So.. she got her first real "doll" from my mom and Grandpa Doug. I wondered if she would take to it or not, as she hasn't really been into them yet (although she thoroughly enjoys the American Girl catalog whenever it comes in the mail!). Well.. this was here at bedtime. She has never slept with anything else in bed with her except her "pony" and maybe one other stuffed animal. Until now. Her and her doll, appropriately named "Evelyn" (for real! It came with a book and everything!) went to bed with her.. and will probably be with her everywhere she goes from now on.. she LOVES it! Thanks, mom and Doug.. what a special gift!

It was a super fun day... and I know she will remember this party for a long time to come!!
