Kylie and I got to attend an American Girl Party at the McHenry Museum in Modesto. They put on these parties a couple times a year and they're free! This is the first one Kylie got to go to. She brought her American Girl doll, which is actually a hand-me-down from one of Katelyn's school friends (we can't afford to buy these dolls ourselves). This party focused on the American Girl doll named Kit Kittredge. She lived in the era of the Great Depression. Her movie is coming to theaters on July 2. We were privileged enough to meet a young girl named Brieanne who will appear in the movie. She told about her experiences of auditioning for the movie and filming it in Canada. Kylie got her autograph and took the picture below with her. Brieanne has lost a lot of weight since filming the movie so she looks much heavier in the film. At the party we played a memory game, made a fan and fanned tissue paper scraps (a game Kit played) , and made a jewelry box out of paper. They served refreshments and gave out goodie bags! Around 60 girls attended the party with their Moms. All the girls were so cute! Kylie and I had a really good time!
Brieanne is pictured on the movie poster on the right. We're looking forward to watching the movie in the theater.
