It's a Tangled Birthday Party!


Little girls love princesses and ours are no different! Allie wanted to have a "Tangled" theme birthday party for her 7th birthday - and it was her big sister who was central in making the dream come true for her this year....7 years after she had her own princess party at the age of 6!

Madison loves to plan parties and events so she helped Allison plan a special afternoon. She and I worked together - but looking back - I basically provided transportation, finances, and a little direction! Madison primarily did the rest! She is so creative with her ideas of how to pull things together and is completely heads above me when it comes to presentation, colors, and decorations! She is a fast thinker, keeps the event moving, and is great with the kids!

Allison received a special Tangled dress/nightgown for her birthday and wanted to dress up at the party so Madison came up with the idea of having the girls receive "spa treatment", dress up fancy with special jewelry, get their hair done and then go to the movies. After the movie they went "out" for special dessert. In the meantime they also got to make cute rings and hair clips! I think the girls had fun......

Pardon me while I post an abundance of photos and commentary!

The Tangled Party Coordinator's To Do List.....

Madison created a beautiful table....with simple place settings.....

Grandma's specialty "dirt cake" in the center and paper "Pascals" lovingly handcrafted by Ryan graced the table.....

Madison fixed up the bathroom for the "spa".....feet, nails, hair, and such.....

Towels and soap for the feet.....

In the "dressing room", the dresses were awaiting a little girl.....

Accessories were abound..... Hair ribbons, earrings, rings, necklaces, bracelets.....even refreshments!

So many choices.....

Necklaces and bracelets were hanging in front of the hair flowers....

Rings and clips....

After having their nails done, dressing, and choosing jewelry, Madison did each girl's hair.....

Beautiful girls on the outside and inside!

The girls making rings....

After all the dressing up it was time for snacks and the movie.....

The anticipation!

Our special parties would not be the same without Grandma and Grandpa's help and love.....

The end of a dream of a day!
