Can it be true that my little firstborn girl turned three yesterday?
I love her more everyday and am so thankful God gave her to us. I'll write something sappy and meaningful in another blog, but for now, here's how we celebrated.
We invited all her little girl friends (and their brothers) to her Fancy Nancy party. Audrey fell in love with the FN books this summer while reading for the library's summer reading program. My friend Alicia made the cake(s) and I helped her decorate just one the night before the party. It took us so long to decorate the one, we decided to leave the other disassembled for easy serving. We tried to accessorize it, just like Fancy Nancy would. I think we succeeded.

This was our first year attempting two parties and two parties on the same day. Her friends came from 11-1 and then family from 2-4. When the girls first arrived my SIL Hannah painted their nails and made them "fancy" with bracelets, necklaces and rings. Grandma S. then read the original Fancy Nancy book to the group. They ate pizza and carrots with dip, decorated picture frames, filled their bags with pinata candy and made their own parfaits and ate pink cake (strawberry) with pink icing. (Audrey's request).
