Kylee's 4th Birthday

She called it her Tangled Birthday (after her favorite movie)

The day started out great. Kylee came in our room at 6:00 am all dressed and whispered in our ears "it's my birthday!" We gave her a birthday hug and then she skipped into the bathroom to brush her hair (and then wouldn't let me touch it the rest of the day). Lucky for us, Steve was able to stay home because he had put in extra hours earlier in the week.  He got to go to Norfolk, Virginia and tour a Destroyer, an aircraft carrier, and a submarine.

While waiting for Cody to get home from school, Kylee had fun playing guitars and singing with dad (awesome videos to come), helping us put the final touches on her Tangled cake, and helping dad with the yard work just before a down pour of rain.

While we finished the cake Kylee sampled all the frosting colors. 

We decided to make Rapunzel's tower from Tangled. It was our first time doing a fondant cake and after spending two nights and a few hours that morning on it we finished it. 

Looks just like the movie right? :) 

Oh and I should mention that the poor cake couldn't actually stand on it's own (small detail). The foundation of the actual tower wasn't strong enough to hold up the top part. So I held it for the pictures. Oh well. We tried.

 Kylee could not wait for Cody to get home. She wanted to open her presents as soon as he walked in. She was so excited to get her first clue. (Her hair was soaked from walking Cody home from the bus stop--it was pouring really hard!)

All of her clues had to do with Tangled of course. This clue has to do with lines from the song "I've Got a Dream." She finally found her presents behind her bedroom door next to her "enormous piles of money" (her piggy bank).
