Lindsey was finally able to have her friend birthday party last week! She ended up with strep-throat, and we have to reschedule it for Thursday afternoon during vacation. She invited a few friends from school, so there were 7 cute girls and their AG Dolls laughing and having a great time the whole 2+ hours they were here! :) One of her friends couldn’t’ make it, as we had a snowstorm that day (go figure!).
Darryl and I had given her the doll she wanted on her actual birthday, so this was the perfect friend party to have!
I quickly took a picture right when they got here, before the craziness started. Too cute!
We started out with a game I had read about online. I guess in the olden days, girls played with clothespins and tried to drop them into the jar. Each girl had 3 tries, and they laughed and tried so hard! It was hard, but Carlee was able to get all 3 in! :)
Next we played American Girl Bingo. I found this personalized Bingo game on EBay for $4! The girls had fun matching the dolls to their boards and trying to win BINGO.
Lindsey wanted to do a craft, so we went to Michaels to search around for the perfect one. They have a lot of American Girl doll different types of crafts. She decided on making headbands and bracelets for the dolls. We had SO much fun! Every girl made one, and they were able to take home the rest to finish. I highly recommend their crafts. They are pricy but very easy to do.
I dressed up our kitchen table with a pink linen tablecloth (thank you Christmas Tree Shop), and put out my CHINA and fancy silverware! The girls were SO cute and very gentle with everything! I had the cake made like the one you can order at the American Girl Bistro (for a lot cheaper!). We ate marble cake, ice-cream, brownies, candy, popcorn, and pink lemonade with crazy straws.
My girls have 2 hair-style doll chairs that they play with all the time. So they decided to set up a beauty shop in the living room, so everyone could do their dolls hair. I think I am still vacuuming up doll hair from the carpet!
The party began to wind-down as she opened her presents and continued to play until parents arrived. We let the girls pick an American Girl doll book that we bought at the used bookstore here in town. They took their crafts, book, candy, and their crazy straws home in their goody bags. What a wonderful way to turn 8 with an American Girl Party at home!
Happy 8th Birthday Lindsey Mae! xo
