All Tangled Up!

We had EmJ's 5th Birthday party this weekend... and it was everything "Tangled" (the Disney movie about Rapunzel). We had a fabulous time and EmJ loved it!

I still can't believe she's 5... but she's quick to remind me! :o)

bday_02
Our friend Sarah did the cupcakes, as usual... and they were so yummy, as usual! EmJ's is the middle one with 5 flowers :o)

At one point in the movie, Rapunzel and Flynn sit on a boat to watch the floating lanterns, so we made some jello boats :o)

Rapunzel's Tower - aka the doughnut cake

bday_05
The spread!
We had some other cute decorations I forgot to take pictures of - lanterns hanging from fishing line to look like they were floating and a cool banner over the food table like the ones in the town square in the movie. EmJ loved them so much that she asked if we can hang them up in her room, so maybe I'll take pictures once we do that. ;)

bday_07
We made Pascal (Rapunzel's friend) party blowers... they were a hit!

At one point in the movie Rapunzel hits Flynn on the head with a frying pan- and the frying pan becomes a big part of the movie. So, we played pin the frying pan on Flynn!
