A Surprise "Fancy Nancy" Tea Party

While at the library last week, I took the kids into the cookbook section of the non-fiction portion of the library. Together we picked out a few cookbooks with ideas of things we can do and make together. One of the books was Fancy Nancy Tea Parties, where Fancy Nancy explains the "how to's" of throwing a tea party.
On Thursday, I decided to surprise the girls with a tea party following some of the guidelines that Fancy Nancy sets (and a few different ideas of my own).
Here is what the girls woke up to from their naps.
Melanie is Fancy and ready to "party".We started out with some crafts while mommy finished making the freshments.
The girls assisted, and we made homemade donuts, and then I let them decorate a few.
Time for some "tea" (or crystal light).
Yum!
It was so much fun to sit and chat with the girls while we enjoyed our refreshments and each other's company. We all had a blast!
