Tangled Party

My girls hadn't seen Tangled yet and so when they FINALLY got to we did it up big! :)  I came across some really fun craft and party ideas for Tangled on Disneys family fun site.  I decided we would do some of them when we got the movie and thought it would be more fun for the girls if we had their two girl cousins over to join the fun.

We started the afternoon by turning each girl into Rapunzel!  I made them each a Rapunzel braid and they decorated some beautiful crowns. 

We had a Rapunzel tower cake. 

 Of course we watched the movie.

Then we had a simple dinner.  I made a ham and cheese bread braid!  And served up some fruit and chips in frying pans. 
I thing it must have been a hit because on the way home the girls were busy planning the next princess party that Dee gets to host!  Get ready Dee! :)  And Madi has been wearing her braid almost non stop since the party!

The past few months

Here's a few highlights from our past couple months:

In May the girls scrubbed the streets before the Tulip Time parade in Pella with Papa, Gogo and some cousins.  Can you spot them?  They loved dressing up!

 A few weeks ago we headed over to Omaha for the weekend.  We went to the Henry Doorly Zoo.  It was such a nice zoo and we had a great day!

 It has been so warm here the past couple weeks. It has been wonderful!  We have been enjoying many days in the water. 

 Madison continues to catch and torture play with every frog she can get her hands on.  She discovered that if she put this little tree frog in the water it would kick it's little legs and swim to the nearest edge, including her!  What fun!  She must have made that poor frog swim at least 100 times!! :)

 In July we will be going to Disneyland with my family.  In preparation, I have been getting a lot of different Disney movies so the girls will actually recognize the characters and rides, other than the princesses, like Peter Pan and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.  Today we got Aristocats from the library.  After swimming we turned the girls into little kitties while they watched the kitty movie!  Of course they had to add a little bow like the one on the movie.
