The happy family on party day.
Prepping party...that is my personal event coordinator Kendi at the sink....she always helps me when I throw parties...don't think I could ever do it without her! Thanks Kendi!!
Kendi and I building the Tower cake...I made the cute banner from a template on supermommoments.com which is where these ideas came from.
I used cake donuts to build the tower and cupcakes decorated with silk flowers to fill in the bottom. My handy husband made the tower base out of wood and drilled a wood dowel for us to thread the donuts on. It was super sturdy but I used a dozen donuts which was more than suggested so the bottom one was starting to split but nobody noticed and it tasted sooo good nobody cared!
Another pic...can you tell I liked the Tower Cake? :)
Stentz and I created an 18ft braid out of yarn and used it to welcome the guests at the front door. Delaney loved the braid and uses it now to swing from the trees in our yard :)
Blowing out her #5 candle...
Enjoying the treats with Landon and Davis.
While friends arrived we had Tangled coloring sheets and flower cheese cutouts with crackers to snack on. Notice the cute flower decorations...that is all Kendi! She makes the most beautiful bouquets.
The first game was slap Flynn with the frying pan which is played like pin the tail on the donkey.
We did a craft where the kids made pasquel party blowers. Pasquel was the funny lizard from the movie who becomes Rapunzel's friend.
Having fun with their party blowers!
Enjoying some time outside with all her friends!
1, 2, 3 blow!!
In the movie, Rapunzel creates a beautiful drawing in the town village so we had our little artists create their own pictures with sidewalk chalk.
Delaney got some bubble wands so we decided to have some bubble time too!
Everyone having fun??
Nothing like playing in the trees with friends Allikaye, Davis, Landon and Lily.
Delaney and Allikaye rocked their Tangled t-shirts at the party. Cuties!!
Cheese, Delaney and Landon!
The party favors were watercolor paints with a cute label that said "Rapunzel Paints" and thanks for coming to my party!
Delaney got a Rapunzel dress from Brady and accessories from Davis so that was the first thing she wanted to do!
Opening all her fun presents...
We can't believe she is 5 and starting Kindergarten in a month. What a fun 5th party that I hope she never forgets!! Happy Birthday Delaney! We love you!!
Mom and I got to spend the day together getting pedicures, shopping and then we all went out for dinner at one of my favorite places, J. Alexanders! Yummy!
Delaney's class had Rodeo Day...they made stick horses and did all kinds of activities. Each child named there horse. There were names like: Butterscotch, Sprinkles, Hawk, etc. Delaney named her horse Laura....hummmm not sure what to say about that :)
Tri the Rock
Transitioning to the bike...
So fast on the run I barely got the photo!
Delaney showing off her body marks...what a poser!
Ready for the swim...
She totally amazed us on the run! She was going all out! It was awesome!
The triathletes with their medals!
And of course Delaney's favorite part was the free hot dog at the end...
Now on to other summer activities:
Chocolate chip pancakes and strawberries for breakfast...delicious!
Building Lego creations together...They named this one "Super Duper Manison"
Climbing trees is a daily thing around here...
