#4 Turns 4!

Monday our #4 turned 4.  Sweet Lilly how are you 4?

You looked like this the day we moved overseas:

Now you look like this:

WOW!  Your hair has grown.

Speaking of hair.  We celebrated Sunday with a Tangled/Rapunzel party.

Lilly digs the Tangled movie.  We have seen it one zillion times.

(She wanted to wear the wig to the party but determined it was too sweaty")

To celebrate I baked an old school barbie cake like my 

mom used to make.  This cake did me in.  The icing kept sliding off 

the sides and the dress part kept collapsing.  I could NOT get

the front to look smooth so we went with a "flowy" look.

Yes, that is an alcoholic beverage behind Rapunzel.

I also baked some Pascal cookies.

Pascal is Rapunzel's little animal friend.

Pascal I hate you.  

This was the hardest thing I have ever done in the kitchen!

I have new found respect for cookie artists!  YES, these

cookie people are artists!!!!  And I am NOT one of them!

I had to be restrained by my family not to throw them in the trash!

Why do they look all weird and wet!???

Okay...I am over it.  Moving on- When you put it all together it was cute.

The party was a success.

We crafted up some fake hair.

It's not a party without fake hair.  Wait! 

that's for the next post.

We waited patiently for a special guest to arrive!

Rapunzel is that you?!

So what if Rapunzel had a thick german accent?
(which Lilly quickly pointed out)

Rapunzel played games with the kids-

Thank you Rapunzel!

Lilly told me the next morning that she was so glad I did not invite 

Rapunzel's evil mother because she would have wrecked everything. HA!

We had snacks from a frying pan, Rapunzel's weapon of choice.

Cake time!

Make a wish #4.

After the party we went upstairs as a family for some 

present opening.  Below is my favorite shot of the day!

PRESENTS!

Still can't believe she's 4.  sighhhhh

Cheers from Singapore!

PS- Only in Asia do you get a Hello Kitty rice

cooker with pretend sushi and chopsticks for your birthday!
