Mae's American Girl Tea Party

Our little girl is officially 5! To celebrate her birthday & her most favorite big girl gift - Kit - she wanted an American Girl tea party. I knew with our recent baby busyness I couldn't pull off an at-home party, but Grammy came to the rescue. She did all the shopping & planning for this sweet get together of a few of Mae's friends. The girls first made paper flowers for the table centerpiece, then attempted two crafts... the sewing craft became a take home project, it was a little too tricky! The girls also made bracelets for themselves & their dolls - and despite lots of dropped beads & trouble tying them, they were a success. Then they enjoyed their tea party food & pink lemonade tea - with a lump of sugar of course :). Mae opened her gifts then they all headed upstairs to watch the Kit AG movie. In the movie Kit & her friends take an oath of friendship in Kit's clubhouse, so all the girls got to pledge to be forever friends by putting their hands in a bowl of water together & taking the oath - they took this so seriously - it was too cute! Mae loved her party & I loved how well it went. It's amazing how sweet & well mannered this precious group of girls are. They all took turns, and it was neat to see Mae open all her cards first & thank each girl for her gifts - such big girl manners! Thank you Grammy for helping to make this a stress free, fun memory for all of us!
