A few weeks ago I told Madeline we could have her friends and their American Girl dolls over for a tea party. She thought it was a great idea...and didn't let me forget about it. Today was the big day. It turned out fabulous...it really was! All morning Maddy and Zelma helped me prepare- frosted cupcakes, picked blueberries, made name tags for each girl and her doll!
When 1:00 rolled around, the excitement built. The girls arrived and I talked funny and called each of the girls madame, or ma'am. At one point I heard one girl, I think it was Laura, say to Maddy, "Your mom is WEIRD!" I could tell she had a huge smile on her face as she said it. I nearly died laughing. The girls wore old hats, (ok, I did too!), and Maddy's costume jewelry. We played pass the button and made Victorian paper fans. I think all the girls (dolls included) had a lovely time...I know I did!
Maddy working hard on her Victorian Fan.
"Button, Button! Who's got the button?"
They all made fans for themselves...then asked me if I had any smaller paper for dolls fans too. Of course I did!
