Claire's Sweet Shop

Claire had her 8th birthday party last night with a Candy Shop theme. We created an old-fashioned candy store and ice cream parlour. We also had a candy themed scavenger hunt where the girls eventually found coins to spend in the store. It was so much fun (and so much work!) But the girls had a blast, and there was lots of giggly excitement!

Here are a few more pictures on Facebook:

Claire, Aunt Betty, and I made a girls trip last weekend to the American Girl Atlanta Boutique and Bistro. It was an early birthday trip for Claire to choose her first AG doll. She chose a look-alike doll that she named Bethany. Here are the links to Betty's blog with lots of great pictures.
