Happy Birthday to Mia

I bought Mia four years ago today at American Girl Boutique and Bistro Atlanta. It was my very first visit to an AG Store, and I had a blast! And of course, Mia came home with me! To read more about how I got Mia, go to the My Dolls and Dollhouse page.  Happy Birthday!

Guess What is the Doll Diaries Spotlight Site This Month?!

As I was going through the recent posts of blogs I follow this morning, I came across a Doll Diaries Post.  It read, Doll Diaries Spotlight Sites for February 2012... and what do you know, my blog was listed! American Girl Doll Chronicles is now a Spotlight Site!



Tea Set for Mini Dolls

Look what I found at Hobby Lobby!  I have been waiting for this to go on sale for a while, and it finally did!  It is a dollhouse miniature tea set, just the right size for mini dolls.

Isn't it pretty? It came with a tea pot, sugar bowl, creamer, and six tea cups and saucers.  (I already had the tray.)

Natalie and Mia had a tea party with their dolls Marie-Grace and Cecile.

The Slumber Party - An AG Photostory 3/3

Once the other guests had left, Mia, Natalie, Rebecca, Devon and Chloe all changed into their pajamas for a game night!

They set up the games and some tables.

Devon, Natalie and Rebecca played Monopoly.

Mia and Chloe played Uno. "Uno!" shouted Mia.

 Natalie rolled the dice.  She was determined to win!

After Uno and Monopoly were over, they set their dolls down to play Twister.

Mia spun the board. "Right hand red!" she called.

Rebecca watched as Natalie, Chloe and Devon stretched over each other.

Then CRASH! They all fell over into a pile of giggles.

Devon went with Natalie to fetch some milk and cookies.  Twister made them hungry!

Everyone chatted while munching on their midnight snack.

They all bundled into their blankets and pillows for the night.

Natalie lovingly tucked her new doll under her arm and settled in.  It had been a great birthday!

An Attic Exploration - An AG Photostory

While Chloe was over at Mia’s house, they decided to go exploring.

They marched up the stairs to the attic.  There were all sorts of curious things to look through.

“Look at this old hatbox,” said Mia.

“A hat and muff!”

Mia handed her finds to Chloe, who tried them on.  “Ta da!” said Chloe, striking a pose.  “What do you think?”

Next they decided to take a peek in a truck.

“It’s a hope chest,” said Chloe.  “See, there are doilies and quilts and table linens.  Oh!  And look at this antique doll.”

Mia spotted something in the corner.

It was an old-fashioned ice cream maker!

“I wonder what could be in this chest,” said Mia, going over to it and pulling on one of the drawers.

A dress!  It looked like something from a hundred years ago.

“I have an idea,” said Chloe.  “You put on the dress, and I will put on the shoes and hat and we can have a tea party!”  Mia thought that was a great idea.

They put on their costumes and fetched some tea and cookies.  They would have to go through Chloe’s attic next time!
