Happy Birthday Ella!

We got "tangled" up in some fun for Ella's 7th birthday party!  

This was such a fun party to plan & by far my favorite of all her parties.  Thank goodness for Pinterest! I found lots of ideas on there and would have been in a world of hurt if not for all the people who so willingly share their creativity....so thank you! :) 

Rapunzel is that you???

The doughnut tower cake that I found online.  Easy to serve & a big hit with all the girls! 

Jello boats & snacks served in frying pans!

We called the kitchen the Snuggly Duckling. 

Each of the girls took a turn hiding the crown in the  satchel around the house.  This was a great game &  they all had lots of fun playing.

Party favors were flower hair clips that I made & a small canvas with a crayola paint brush marker.

Ella wanted to make this for the party so Andy brought home some butcher paper & we just let her paint away.  She loved doing it & it looked just like Rapunzel's painting in the movie.

We strung up a roll of yellow table covering all over the house to look like Rapunzel's hair.  It started outside the front door & into the kitchen. 

I blew up this photo at Kinko's and they played pin the frying pan on  Flynn Rider's nose. 

Crafts!  We decorated crowns with yellow ribbon for Rapunzel's hair & made Pascal party blowers!

We've had a busy and fun-filled summer and here our some of the highlights: 

 We had some beautiful weather in May, so we tried to get out and go for hikes or bike rides as much as possible.  Here is a fun park we went to in Lake Oswego.

Both girls danced at there recital with Sherwood Dance in June.  They were adorable!
