Little and Hip: Finally...the birthday party!!!

Elliot said on her birthday (which was on Monday): 'Tell me mamma, how come there are no kids here???'

Well, finally...the day we have been waiting for was here! Elliot and Agnes' 4th birthday party happened yesterday. And a big success it was! Lots of cake, lots of kids and lots of fun!

The day before we made all the cakes. Two birthday cakes for the two birthday princesses, cupcakes and lots of other goodies.

Decorating the birthday cakes

We made 'fairy bread' - loff med smoer og stroe paa - white bread with butter and hundreds and thousands. Of course cut out in number 4's!

Elliot so happy!

Here is all the girls of the house waiting for the guests to arrive. We are having a taste of all the goodies...mmmm!

Mamma and her two birthday girls!

My little Elliot is 4 now!

My little Agnes is now 4!

Mwahh!

My Milla!

Each year the girls get to choose which birthday cake they want, and this year they chose a princess and a princess castle. If you look closely, you can see some little finger marks in the icing.... Just a little taste....mmmmm. Both birthday cakes were dark chocolate mud cakes! Yum!

Princess castle for Agnes and Elliot

...and here is the princess

No birthday party without cupcakes!

Milla is ready for the guests to arrive

All the girls are very much fascinated by the fairytale 'Tangled' about princess Rapunzel with the long hair. For the party we had arranged a treasure hunt where we were looking for Rapunzel in the tower. There were stations we had to complete along the way.

We are going on a treasure hunt

to find Rapunzel in the tower

first we work through stations

to give us superpower

Ok, so the rhyming isn't the best, hahahaha, but it made the mystery we needed to surround our treasure hunt:)

Our station 1 was crowns and wands.

Little princes and princesses

must have wands and crowns

here is glitter, glue and jewels

to be stuck around

At the crafts table making beautiful crowns...

...lots of glitter and jewels...

...perfect crowns!

Station two is freezing cold

grab the hammer and take hold

smash the ice and see what you find

gumball machines could be in mind

We had frozen two gum ball machines in a bucket of water, and the kids had to smash the ice open

Station 3 was silly-string in spray cans

Now it's time to b e a little clown

hop around and spray each other down

silly string is fun

spray all colours in the sun

Then the kids were off on a fishing adventure. Gregg had made rods out of sticks, and we had prizes in a little 'pond' that they could fish for. At the end of the fishing rods we had attached string with a paper-clip bent open for 'hooks'. And on the prices we had taped paper-clips for something to grab a hold of.

Use your rod to catch a gift

today there is no real fish

take turns and see what bites

Very excited as they found the fishing station...what is under there?

Everyone fishing away

Milla is enjoying the treasure hunt

Now, where is Rapunzel in the tower....??? Whilst we were all looking for clues, pappa and Samba were getting ready in the 'tower' of the cubby house.

Time to get the wig on....

Little Bella is very excited about Rapunzel!

...lots of treats, but the wig is on...

Even flashing a beautiful smile!

The kids have solved the clues and are heading to the tower to free Rapunzel...

...we found Rapunzel!!! Bwahahahaha, everyone got a good laugh!!! The kids loved our Rapunzel!

At last they followed a special string.....round and round the garden....up and down....and around a corner.... FOUND THE TREASURE!!! Lots of goodies!

Mmmmm, lots of goodies!

Mamma trying on Milla's beautiful crown and wand

Time for cake now! Lots of candles to blow out!! 4 for Agnes and 4 for Elliot...

....did it! And made a wish!

Cake for everyone! Happy birthday Agnes and Elliot!!!
