Mckinlee's Fancy Nancy Party

Mckinlee's been wanting a birthday party for a long time. But since I 've had so much going on lately, and being in charge of our Relief Society meeting that was coming up in a couple weeks, and the fact that her B-day was only in three days, I thought we could just invite two of her friends over for a little play day and have cupcakes. Then she would be happy and feel like it was a little birthday party, and I wouldn't have to feel bad about giving out last minute invitations to people. BUT... since one of her friends wasn't going to be able to make it on the day we were thinking, we pushed it back a few days which gave me more time to think of ideas (which seriously complicated my "little party"). SO...what started out as being just a simple little play day turned in to be much more of a "party" after all. And since she is my last little girl, I thought it would be fun to do a little girl party and do things that Mckinlee loves to do. She reminds me a lot of Fancy Nancy (I probably love those books more than my kids do!) so I thought we'd go in that direction. After all the time that I ended up putting into planning this party, I was wishing I would've had more time to invite more little girls to join in on the fun. Although she would've loved to have more of her friends there, two ended up being the perfect number. Not too stressful and very easy going.




We started out with a little tea party...
Then, I thought it would be fun for them to go shopping for their own accessories... here they are checking out what they were going to buy... hats, sun glasses, dainty white gloves, jewelry, fake nails, lip gloss, feather boas, etc.


They thought this was so FUN!

They "accessorized" their hats... Made these fancy little purses... Did each other's make up...
Opened presents...
Did their nails...




Added a little BLING to their sunglasses...And lastly they made their very own parfaits... (which is a fancy word for ice cream sundae) I think this was their favorite part!



Here they are showing off their new nails...And looking very POSH!!

Tenille- The party looks perfect! Looks like the girls loved it. I had so much fun doing this theme because the possibilities of making purple and pink fancy stuff are endless! Kudos to you for living it up with the little girly stuff before they go and grow up! Great Job!
