It's hard to believe that we have a 5 year old! Especially when you look back at these old pictures.
FANCY NANCY PARTY
For those who haven't heard of the Fancy Nancy Books they are really fun especially for little girls. Fancy Nancy is a little girl who just loves dressing up and "being fancy" she really likes using big words and she always explains what they mean. (ie. Posh is a fancy word for Fancy). My sister recommended them to us when Maddi was really really into changing her outfits 10 times a day and they have been a hit with my girls ever since.
So the picture you see above is Mia's version of "Fancy" I let her pick everything she wore (thank you Isabel for the wardrobe) and how she did her hair and I think she felt very "Fancy". It was fun to let her be a part of the planning process from making the invitations to deciding what kind of decorations she wanted, what activities we would do etc etc. She had an opinion about everything and we had a blast.

So Grown Up

Going on a Fancy Treasure Hunt
We found a cute idea and template online for Fancy Nancy New Sew Purses. Very easy and cheap and the girls had a lot of fun decorating them.
After watching Mommy decorate Cupcakes the girls thought they needed a turn.
Our Welcome Sign in French. Fancy Nancy loves to speak in French because she thinks "Everything sounds fancier in French!"
Mia's Cake Design. She was very specific about wanting a square cake with cupcakes all around it and as I decorated cupcakes she decided what should be on each one.
We try and celebrate as a Family at home on their Birthday and rather then do cake twice we like to make a fun treat and then stick a candle in it! So as pathetic as this looks it's actually one of our favorite family treats. Pretzel Rods, dipped in Carmel and then Chocolote. Yummmy!
Daddy let her pick any breakfast she would like him to make on her birthday and she chose a omelette.

Mia and her invites. I wish I had a picture after she made them REALLY fancy. After we did the basic stuff here she embellished the invitations with all sorts of ribbons and scrapbook odds and ends. Again...so fun to see what a little girl's IDEA of Fancy is. :)

Mia is adorable. I miss her cute little laugh! Can you believe she's 5!?! We miss you guys. Your girls are growing up so much. I would just love to see them again one of these days. Good luck with the move!!!
Mia is adorable. I love seeing her pictures from 0-5. She has grown up so much. It's been fun to watch her personality and testimony grow so much in the last year. And her Fancy Nancy party looked VERY fancy. :)
