Here she is! Annalyn, our little Rapunzel, is 3 years old!
Since her favorite movie is Tangled, she asked for a Rapunzel birthday party.
This mommy went a little overboard with preparations for "my little girl's 1st party" and here is a boatload of pictures to document the event.
Let me also begin by making the disclaimer that most of these ideas were simply found on the internet. A few minutes on Google and Pinterest (plus a pinch of love and lots of Mommy's time) and Voila! A party fit for a princess!
Annalyn got a Rapunzel doll and matching dress so she could look the part on her special day.
1st: The Invitations and Decorations!
2nd: The Food
Love the frying pans!
Everyone got a kabob stick and they could build a "tower of food" by stacking the fruit and cheese cubes!
"Rapunzel's Braid Rolls"
We had veggie pizza and...notice the blue jello cups?
They were topped with these...
"Flynn and Rapunzel's boat" jello cups!
We also had my version of "Hazelnut Soup" = Prezels dipped in Nutella!
Annalyn helped set the table! She loved the Rapunzel napkins and had to give everyone 2 cups!
Love the braid and suns as centerpieces! Smile birthday girl!
3rd: The Cake
I stayed up Wednesday night and made this...I thought it turned out pretty good ;-)
Sad Story: I woke up Thursday morning and the tower had crumbled to pieces (it's made out of rice krispie treats). It had crumbled all over the cake and I had to resurrect it. I glued a section of the rice krispies back together and had to refrost a bunch of it. Sadly, the pictures are of the 2nd, slightly refurbished version, but it turned out just fine in the end!
4th: The Games:
"Decorate Rapunzel's Braid"
Annalyn modeling the beautifully decorated braid!
Game #2: "Pin the Frying Pan on Flynn Rider"
Game #3: "Tie Daddy to a Chair with Rapunzel's Hair"
Present Time!
Favorite thing about 3 year-old birthday parties: All the kids want to help unwrap the presents
She loved all her gifts! Especially this Rapunzel tea set!
Her Friends:
Anna, Gabe, Kiera, Sadie, Annalyn, and Irelyn
The 3 Rapunzel's! (They're even all blonde)
Cake, Candles, and Ice Cream!
And Finally Game #4: Letting "Balloon Lanterns" go into the sky!
Annalyn was waving as the balloons floated away!
All the kids LOVED this activity! Each of the kids let 1 balloon go and when they saw how cool it was they all wanted to take their 2nd balloon (I got for them to take home) and they let the 2nd one go too! They were riveted! SO CUTE!
Well, Here's our Princess with her frying pan.
She was so tired after all the fun, but has hardly talked about anything else since.
Happy Birthday Our Sweet Annalyn! May 3 be the best year yet!

Way to go Mommy!! What an awesome party! I agree, the frying pans are brilliant. I'm very impressed with your cake skills too. How are you ever going to top this party? :)
How very dedicated you are and what a fun memory that you created for her
What a cute idea! The girls look like they had a great time and the details look so good!
