An American Girl Tea Party

On October 12th, Sophie and Emmaline got to go to the American Girl Tea Party and Fashion Show.   They met all of the American girls, got their autographs, learned how to be Lady Like, with proper table manners, at a real fancy-shmancy  Tea.  Their American Girls came with them, and got to sit at the table in their own chairs!   Sophie brought Julie, and Emmaline brought Mia.

The Tea was a fund raising event for the NICU at Kosair Children's Hospital.  Some of the models are girls who spent time in the NICU.  Which is pretty neat to see them, especially because I take care or alot of moms, and unborn babies, who end up in the NICU at Kosair.  

The girls were seated at the table at the end of the runway, which is pretty neat, so they got to see all of the fashions up close, and learn about all kinds of things that were going on during the era's and how life changed for girls and women alike during these times.  Like, I think it was during World War 1 that the dresses stopped being so big, corsets stopped being worn (they were able to build a battle ship with all of the metal from corsets--can you imagine!)  Excess material was used to make clothing for soldiers.  They learned all kinds of neat facts...

If you are able to attend an American Girl Event with your girls, it is well worth it.  I hope we can go next year, and that I can attend this time!
