We enjoyed celebrating Addison's Birthday with 10 of her friends from school and church, the Ashton Family, Nanee and Great Grandma Greg. Addison picked Tangled as the theme of her party this year. As the kids came into the house they were handed a Wanted Poster with their name on it to decorate with their own mugshots.
As you can see we had some very creative Wanted Posters! The kids were also given take-out boxes to decorate as lanterns. The lanterns were used as their thank you treat bags when they left. Each lantern was filled with candy (I forgot to get a pinata) and the girls received a braid to hold their bows and hair clips at home!
I pondered how I was going to do the cake/cupcakes for the Tangled party...I came up with using a jumbo ice cream cone with a cupcake set inside and a sugar cone on top to represent the roof of Rapunzel's tower. The kids were able to use icing and candy to decorate their towers. Emi (one of Addison's friends) created an amazing tower and right as Dadam went to take a picture it hit the ground. I am happy to say though that she created another tower that was just as amazing!
I tried the baking a cupcake in cone for the first time preparing for Addison's party. I will give my instructions and tips on my food blog! For Addison's cake I used fondant (should have rolled it thinner) for the river and roof, green coconut for the grass and pretzels to represent the forest and a cupcake on top of the tower to represent her home!
As you can see there were some really creative towers built and eaten. Even the birds enjoyed the cupcake on Sunday morning :)
I love all of the fun expressions that Addison made while opening her gifts. You can see Addison holding her Princess Barbies that she got from Grandma and Grandpa Lund. She really had a wonderful time. I am very grateful to her Dad for saving these pictures. I had deleted them from my computer and memory card yesterday and Dadam found a way to retrieve deleted photos from memory cards. THANK YOU Dadam!!!!
Addison sure had a fantastic day! Thank you for all the love, support and gifts that created a magical 6th birthday!

Ok, where was Dadam when I erased my memory card at the zoo?! We were ready to leave and stopped to let the kids play at the treehouse, and I somehow reformatted the card and lost everything!! Such devastation. We ran back through the zoo to re-do the pics, and surprisingly every animal was out that hadn't been before, so it was an even better experience.
Addison's birthday sure looks cute! What a special & loved little girl :)
Oh my gosh! Where was he when we accidentally deleted the first 3 days of our trip to Italy off our memory card. I was bawling my eyes out in Venice and we never got them back! We had to go back to Italy and take more! I am glad it was a happier ending for you. :o)
