Happy Birthday Set

Summer activities are quickly wrapping up here in our part of the country and being replaced by school hoopla and extra-curricular activities.  Camille, Ivy, Mae Francis and Lydia decided to squeeze another party into the last few hot and humid Summer afternoons. Girly gabbing, hotdogs and cake, who could ask for anything more?

This American Girl Happy Birthday set was a Birthday gift from my sweet sister. It was on my wish list and on sale for $25. Woohoo!!! It all looks so delicious and comes with everything you see here.

Camille is wearing one of the two party hats that are also included in the set. On the pink hat Camille is holding, you can see the slits that are used to fasten the hat in back of the head. 

Lydia and Mae Frances were next to join the party.  Mae Francis insisted on Lydia taking the other party hat, because she didn't want to fuzz her curls.

 Ivy has arrived and Now we have a PARTY!! The gab fest is on as Ivy explains her beret battle. I watched her in agony trying to arrange it on her head in a stylish manner but with bangs and a short hair cut.....insanity.  Of course, Ivy refused to give up, she really wanted to wear her hat to what might be the last party of the summer!!

Camille talked about how much fun she's been having posing for a Photo Contest while Ivy, Mae Francis and Lydia went on and on about how excited they were about working on a Mix and Match Wardrobe Challenge.

 The girls were talking up an appetite and sharing two slices of cake just wouldn't do.  Hotdogs with mustard is everyone's favorite. It'll fill their tummies and taste real yummy!!

Saving cake for later the dollies descend on the mustard dogs. 

 

I love photographing hands, especially little ones!!

  

Let them share cake!! 

How about a few after lunch pics?

For Being So Cute!!

Make way for Ivy!! It seems she has gone and lost her beret....On purpose.... I'm sure!

How are you guys spending your last days of summer?  

The Easter Garden Party

Yesterday was a beautiful day to mingle with friends and spread some Easter cheer. It was also a glorious day, because Camille made her very first appearance since going off to have some "work" done at Jodybo's.

 

As you can see all of the girls were eagerly awaiting her arrival. I figured she should make a delicate but grand entrance to the party. 

 

 

 

 Here she is greeted by Lydia(#50) as Ivy, Cecile and my daughters Josefina wait for their turns to hear all about her adventure and transformation.

 

 

 

 

 Cecile just could not wait any longer.....So she raced over to Camille to tell her how beautiful she looked with new eyes and freckles.

 

 

Camille was thankful and relieved that her friends loved her new look.

 

 

 

 

 

 It is truly amazing to have a doll come back after customization. Camille is our first and hopefully not the last.  Kit, my Addy, in her Cape Island dress and my daughters Addy bid adieu to Camille as she makes her way to greet other friends.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Cecile and Kit take a moment to catch up and reflect on their favorite Easter Activities. Sunrise Service is on the bottom of the list as 6:30am services are much too early for little dolls.

 

 

 

 

Emily and Ivy are excited to see Camille. Ivy is in awe of her gorgeous freckles.

 

 

  

 

 

...And more chatty girls. Emily, Lydia and Ivy are hoping for an Easter Egg Hunt....Maybe!!

 

Thank you all for reading about our awesome Easter Garden Party. We are excited to have Camille home and I hope to share the story of her customization soon.

 

What are your dolls doing to celebrate Easter and/or Spring??

Winter is in full swing and the air is a bit frigid in our neck of the woods, so here are two Fall photos of our sweetest doll friends. Ivy, Camille and Mae Francis enjoy a playful afternoon before the chilly weather blew through.
