I am already planning DD's birthday party for this spring. She is going to have an American Girl tea party. We'll have it in my dining room and I will have fancy little finger sandwiches cut into cute shapes, I'll dip strawberries in chocolate and we'll have scones. I will probably do carrots and celery and dip too. It should be lots of fun. The girls are going to come dressed up in pretty dresses and bring their AG dolls with them (we have extras in case somebody doesn't have one to bring). I am going to buy inexpensive straw hats at Michaels and let them decorate them with ribbons and artificial flowers. We'll also make tissue paper flowers for centerpieces. I am trying to figure out how they can make something that might look like a feather boa as another craft but I can't come up with anything yet. The girls will have birthday cake and they will go home. Oh and I am borrowing a pretty tea set from a friend. My only costs will be food, tissue paper and the hats with the items to decorate them. I am going to send out an evite this year so I won't even have to pay for invitations.
For my older daughter who will turn 12, we told her no more big parties. She can have a couple of friends over for a sleepover or I will take them to a movie.

Definately something I will be doing with my daughter when she is old enough.
