Ooh-la-la!

*Warning...this post has a tremendous amount of pictures! (Tremendous is a fancy word for large!)
On Friday, October 9th, I hosted a party for my princesses, Lily and Maddy, in honor of their birthdays. I was so excited when they decided on Fancy Nancy for the theme and I had SO much fun planning their soiree! (That's a fancy word for party.) I designed their invitations on the computer and we sent out Fancy invites to 8 of their friends: Lily and Maddy were so excited when their special day finally arrived! They loved getting fancy for their party:Lily in her pink and black: and Maddy as Fancy Nancy Bonjour Butterfly: We tried to fix Maddy's hair similar to Fancy Nancy: When the girls first arrived, they were sent upstairs to the Posh Boutique (Posh is a fancy word for fancy.) They got to choose a feather boa, tiara and a ring to add to their ensemble. (That's a fancy word for outfit.) Then they had their nails done by Madame Angela (my mother-in-law): And their makeup done by Madame Amy (one of my dearest friends). When they all had their accessories and makeup and nails done, we had a Fashion Show. Each girl walked one at a time through the sparkly fuchsia door fringe as their name was announced(Fuchsia is a fancy way of saying purple, which is Fancy Nancy's favorite color.) They posed for applause and a photo.
Fancy Lily:Fancy Grace: Fancy Emma: Fancy Ellie:Fancy Reagan:Fancy Madeline: Fancy Maddy: Fancy Mollie: When the fashion show was through it was craft time! The girls designed a cute little foam beaded purse with fancy foam stickers and jewels: and then they made their own body glitter. They decorated cute pink bottles with fancy stickers and then mixed tangerine smelling lotion with fuchsia and silver glitter:Then it was time to go downstairs for a special dessert! I loved decorating and making everything exquisite. (That's a fancy word for beautiful.) Here is the table where the girls dined: Each girl had their own place setting at the table: The girls each got some pink or yellow punch and a special cookie with their name on it:I love decorating my Southern Living Astoria caddy for holidays and parties!:The girls all squealed when I told them we were going to make parfaits! (That's a fancy word for ice cream sundae). I had a parfait bar set up for each girl to make their own:There was 3 kinds of ice cream: chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry, 2 kinds of syrup: chocolate and strawberry, and 4 toppings: M & Ms, rainbow sprinkles, chocolate chips, and gummi bears. Lily chose pink (strawberry) ice cream with pink (strawberry) syrup and rainbow sprinkles,while Maddy chose chocolate ice cream with M & Ms and chocolate chips:I put a candle in their parfaits and then the girls all sang Happy Birthday to Lily and Maddy: After parfaits Lily and Maddy opened their presents. They got some really fancy things! But the best part was spending time with their friends at their party. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this night with my girls and their sweet friends! What a blessing they all are to me!

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Ecclesiastes 3:11
