Fancy Nancy was extra fancy today at our house. Ella had her 8th birthday party...a "Fancy Nancy" birthday tea party. Fancy Nancy is a character from a popular children's book series by the same name. Our girls LOVE Fancy Nancy!
Ella wore a dress that Gail and Sheryl bought together with money they combined in High School and both wore it to different banquets that year (1987). It was the perfect Fancy Nancy dress. Sam, Canaan, Chris and I were the waiters. It was a fun day!
Here are some pics...

| Sheryl read some from the Fancy Nancy tea party book and played a game with the girls where everyone went around the table and shared what they would take on a trip to Paris. |

My wife is a elementary school librarian and just love to watch the reaction of the children when she read Fancy Nancy. A few weeks ago we happened to be in a Barnes and Noble near our house when we were able to meet the illustrator for the series. I don't remember her name, but there was some kind of mix up and there was almost no one there so my wife has a ball getting to talk with her, and thank goodness for cell phone cameras. Sounds like a fantastic birthday party.
(totally jealous of getting to meet the illustrator!)
Couldn't have come up with a better party for that little Fancy Nancy! Tell her I love her and 'Happy Birthday'!!
Sheryl, as always, created a masterpiece of a party, and those waiters -- very handsome! :-) Love it all!
Love the multicultural party, too!
