Dollie & Me Tea Party!

This year, we had a "Dollie & Me" tea party for Harper, Isabelle (new American Girl), and a few friends.  It was the perfect theme for Harper & Isabelle. The girls started off by making paper plate hats and then sat down for tea.  After tea, we had a fashion show with the girls and their dolls.  It was a great day!  

On Harper's actual birthday, she celebrated with cinnamon rolls, cupcakes with her classmates, and ended the day in a competitive game of Collect the Jewels Princess Pop Up game. 

Happy Birthday Harper! I cannot believe you are 5. It really is true, the days are long but the years are short.  I cannot believe you have been in our lives for 5 years.
We love you so much!

Harper's Trip to The American Girl Store

As a special treat for Harper's birthday, Bossy and Nana took her to get her first American Girl Doll.  She has been asking for one for months...so I thought this would be such a fun night!  We surprised her by meeting at the store and she was so excited!  She decided to pick out a "Truly Me" doll...the ones that look just like you.

Meet Isabelle!  She has brown hair, brown eyes, tan skin, her ears pierced, and a dress that matches Harper!

After we got Isabelle and all her outfits/accessories, we all had dinner in the American Girl Cafe.

Harper had the best time...and so did we!

She even got to decorate her own cupcake

She had a wonderful experience that she will never forget.
Thank you Nan and Bossy!
