Fancy Nancy Valentine Event

I don't know if you remember me posting back in November about a painting party I went to, but Livie and I just went to a Fancy Nancy Valentine Day Party there today and it was so much fun!

Now, you know, if you want Livie to get "fancy", she will find every possible thing in her closet to wear in order to be the very fanciest person in the world.  She decked herself out in boas, sequined gloves, a hat, and an umbrella!  Yes, folks, she was the epitome of fanciness!

She even had me get fancy.  She had me wear a heart headband, a blue boa, and several bracelets.

Taking pictures with her was a riot, because she directed the whole "shoot".  This was my favorite pose of hers. ;-)

We were worred that the event was going to be canceled, because of the snow we are getting (I think the total accumulation is somewhere around 8" and it's still snowing.  But, we braved it and are so glad we did, because we wouldn't have wanted to miss such a great afternoon!

When we got there, we quickly realized we were the fanciest ones there.  In fact, I do believe I was the ONLY fancy mom there.  At the very least, the only mom there with a boa.  Livie made sure all of her accessories were in place before we began.

At the table, she had made little raspberry lemonades for everyone with Fancy Nancy labels.  So stinkin' cute!

She even gave everyone a special Valentine's Day cardboard straw.  Livie LOVED the lemonade!  She even made Red Velvet Puppy Chow with Valentine M&Ms.  What a great snack!

She had the girls gather around, while she read the Fancy Nancy Valentine's Day book.  Livie loves Fancy Nancy and had never heard that book before, so she really liked it.

Once the story was over, we all went over to the tables where she had all the supplies ready to make Valentine's Day cards.  There was so much to choose from.  Each girl got to make 10 Valentine Cards.

She had them gather around, so she could show them how to make the cards and show them the work tables that had additional tools to use.  They had a glitter station, a rubber stamp station, and a special scissor and punch-out station.

Here is Livie at the rubber stamp station.  She really liked doing that.

But the glitter station was her favorite!  We visited this station a lot.

As we worked at our tables, she brought around special felt stickers that she had, as well as special glitter tape and yarn.  There was so much to choose from!  And, we loved all of it!

Here she is getting ready to fill in a heart with glitter.

We miscounted and actually made 11 Valentines, but no one seemed to mind that.  Didn't she make some great ones?!  She had so much fun and we definitely used up every minute of those 2 hours.

She had a wonderful time and I was so glad to spend some time with just her and me.  We don't get the chance to do that very often.  Looking forward now to the next event!
