Julia's Birthday Party

After much discussion we decided to have an American Girl birthday party at our house for Julia's 6th birthday!  It was definitely a ton of work to get everything ready but I had heaps of fun doing all the girly stuff.  After looking around on Pinterest we decided to have the girls make a tutu for their dolls and make flowers to fill up a vase.  In addition to a snack along with cookie cake and opening presents.  We all had a fun day celebrating our American girl Julia!

Dining room table all set up for 10 kids.

Kitchen table set up with the cookie cake and every one's vase.

After everyone arrived we first made the tutus which definitely required the girls to be determined.  I'm so glad a few of the moms stayed so they could help out with making the tutus.

Everyone hard at work making tutus and Andrew playing with his truck in the background.

Julia met Jennifer in speech last year and was lucky enough to be in the same kindergarten class.

One of the twins, Peyton or Presley, that Julia met in dance class last year.

We love Sweet Grace who Julia met in her 3 year old preschool class and still continues to be friends.  They don't go to the same school but they are in the same dance class so we still get to see her each week.
