A Tangled 8

So my baby girl is 8 ahhhhhhhh… where did the time go.  We had a little party for her with some friends, it was all themed around the movie Tangled.

We made paper lanterns and put glow necklaces inside so they would glow.

I promise they looked better than the picture is showing.

We roasted Hot Dogs on the fire and had a picnic on our new grass.

Then we hit a piƱata with a frying pan of course.  By the way thanks Lisa for the fun idea the girls loved it.
