For heaven's sake, the snow is FINALLY MELTING. Isabelle woke me up this morning yelling that the snow was shrinking. And true enough - the snow mounds were being replaced by icy puddles (the down side being that about 50 piles of Lola's poop were now mushy and visible). But focusing on the half-full glass, we embraced the "warm" day - and headed out for gymnasics/ballet without coats!
See, this was an especially glorious day, because in addition to bright sunshine, we were hosting a "Fancy Nancy" party. Big times here at the Maddex home. We sent out fancy pink evites to the two families we know (one being our relatives) and prepared by reading the Fancy Nancy book and making tiny pink cakes. Now I know that Martha Stewart actutally hosted Jane O'Connor (Fancy nancy's author) and discussed proper ways of hosting Fancy Nancy themed birthday parties. But really - our party was out of desperation. The girls and I were so tired of being stuck here in the house - and we had just received a huge bag of fancy dress-up clothes from our priest's wife. What else were we supposed to do?
Here is some more evidence of our fanciness:

Oh so fun Paige! I wish Lucie could have joined in on the fanciness!! Youre girls are just precious and look beautiful as always! Love you so much!
Thanks, Ellen! I wish Lucie could have been here, too. She is the fanciest - especially with that black hat!
Marvelous! All are truly a prima-Nancy-Fancy!
sorry about the previous posting...I made an error :)
We had a fantastic time, Paige. Josie has thanked Jesus for the Fancy Nancy party at every single prayer.
You're killing me here! I want a girl!!! Actually, Henry would probably be up for a Fancy Nancy party.
How creative and wonderful to throw a very pink party in the middle of winter, just to lift spirits! We had just a few days of that horrible negative temps but nothing compared to what you've been dealt this year! I love reading your words, Paige- I'm fascinated by the orthodox christianity you practice and am starting to see the beauty in marking the many events that make up jesus's life- not only the beginning of it and the "end"... Have you read "Jesus for President"??
So sweet of you to comment, Lucinda! I haven't read that book - I'll look into it!
tell isabelley and mj that according to my definition of fancy, they are way up there!! love yall so much!
