Oh my goodness!
Yes, today was the BIG DAY!
Yes, today was the American Girl Fashion Show!
The pictures are in reverse order, so please bear with me. Here are Katie and I after the show enjoying our tea party refreshments...
Grandpa John and Grandma Patty were there for the big day!
Elizabeth was there, too.:)
Refreshments were served in chinese carry out boxes! We took our boxes home with us as I know some young ladies that will be having birthdays soon and what a fun way to serve refreshments at a birthday party!:)
Katie was dressed as a Bitty Twin to showcase the Bitty Twin dolls and clothes. She is the little one on the right. They both carried dolls with matching outfits...
Grandpa John took wonderful care of Elizabeth.:)
Grandma Patty and Mandy...
Here is Katie at rehearsal the night before. Look at that smile!:)
Here is the order of costumes in the green room. Does anyone know why they always call these rooms the "green room"??
They marked all the girls seats for the rehearsal...
Love the sparkly stars!
The decorations were so festive and fun! A true party atmosphere!
The raffle prizes! Jill and Kimberly- they are picking the winners on Sunday!
Here is Katie after she had her pictures done. I think we may have to buy this outfit for Christmas. She loved it- especially the leggings!
So cute! Looks like you all had a great time.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori
ReplyDeleteEverything looked gorgeous at the fashion show.I loved all the decorations and Katie looked so cute and not at all nervous. You must have been so proud. Glad to see her lovely Grandparents there to support her. That will have made it even more special. My favorite picture is the beautiful one of you and Katie together. I love it.

Aww everything looks soo awesome! And she is beautiful. How cool!!
ReplyDeleteThis looked like so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteI love American Girl and my daughters used to collect them, now I'm looking forward to my granddaughter collecting them!
We got her the baby one last Christmas, and I also bought her the Girl of the Year (MIA because that's her name!), she's too young for that yet (only two) but she does enjoy the baby!
Your daughter did a great job and looks like she really enjoyed it all which is the most important!
So glad you were all able to share this together!
Great post! Thanks for sharing!
All the best,
Eileen

ReplyDeleteThat Katie is too cute. Don't you love the 5-6year stage? They are in love with life and YOU! I think your darling older daughter looks like her grandmother - same eyes.
