I’m determined to eventually catch up on all the past birthday posts that haven’t made it onto the blog yet… With the 4th of July coming up tomorrow, I thought it’d be the perfect time to finish up this post and finally share Twinkle Toes’ 12th birthday party from last August. We celebrated with another American Girl theme, this one inspired by Molly McIntire!
(Note: I purchased Molly & Emily along with some of their accessories when they were put on sale and discontinued a few years ago, saving them to give to the girls for Christmas and birthdays. I don’t love all the changes that have been taking place at American Girl and I’m not purchasing anything new from them anymore, but I DO love the new Dolls from Heaven and I’m really excited to see what they have planned next. I have this stashed away to give a certain little girl later this year.)

The older boys helped hang streamers and decorate the night before, while I baked and decorated the cake. Her birthday started with birthday hugs, discovering her cake and gifts in the kitchen, and sweet Instagram posts from her friends!

In addition to Molly’s Party Dress and Birthday Set (overpriced now that they have been discontinued), the birthday girl also received a set of gel pens (Costco), a pink scientific calculator set (also from Costco, and needed for the new school year), Tiny Stitches, a pink rain jacket (REI Clearance for $6!), the LEGO Toy & Grocery Shop (currently 25% off!), and a beautiful original painting of her patron saint from Audrey Eclectic (you can find reprints here).
