lily's rapunzel birthday

Lily has been obsessed with Rapunzel for the last few months.  She knows the songs, she loves the dolls, and has a teensy little crush on Flynn Rider.  She is ready to talk about Rapunzel with anyone at a moments notice.  This made her 2nd birthday party a piece of cake (cake...ha!).  
I planned a little Rapunzel adventure and enlisted the help of the family.  
I had sissy make wanted posters of Flynn to decorate our house and she painted purple flags with suns on them.  Wes is always a good sport and is so willing to follow along with my silly ideas.  He played the part of Flynn all tied up in Rapunzel's long hair.
 I sent the girls downstairs and they soon heard Flynn's cries for help.  They ran to the stairs and found his poster.  
The only way up, was of course to call for Rapunzel to let down her hair.  They climbed the hair and into the tower to find Flynn.
 They had to set Flynn free and untangle him from Rapunzel's hair.
He showed the birthday girl what was inside his satchel and to her surprise it was a crown just for her.
She put it on and said "I'm the lost princess."  I told you she knows this show.
Flynn swept tiny birthday Rapunzel off to the snuggly duckling for something to eat.  On the menu?  Pizza, of course.
 The girls discovered that Rapunzel's birthday cake was missing and were on the hunt.  After the snuggly duckling they entered the kingdom and couldn't leave without dancing with Flynn.  My girls love to dance with dad like this.
Flynn led them to Mother Gothel who was guarding the way to the stolen cake.  Birthday Rapunzel hit her with a frying pan to enter a room filled with lights.  And there at the front with the lantern glowing all around she found her cake.
This little girl is sunshine.
 After cake she opened her presents.  The thing about this girl is that anything she opens she has to use or try on for at least a minute.  Everything must come out of the box immediately or clothes must be tried on before she moves on to the next present.  It sure is fun celebrating someone who is so enthusiastic about everything!  Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate her!
Happy Birthday Miss Lily, you are so loved!
