They ended up looking pretty cute! Quick photo with Dad before heading to the girls-only party. I let the girls pick out a special outfit at Target to wear, and of course they found the glitter unicorn headbands 😂. So, this year for their birthdays, we did just that! Liv and Lucy’s birthdays are 1 day apart, so it was the perfect opportunity to head to the Dallas store and celebrate! My niece Hayden Kate’s birthday is a few days before my girls’, so it worked out perfectly to celebrate all 3. Every piece was special, and I loved reading the books that accompanied Samantha and told about her life growing up in the Victorian era.Ī year or so ago, my daughters discovered my doll, which I am still a little possessive over, haha! They loved playing with her and all her special things- and I knew I wanted to get them a doll of their own from the American Girl store. She had a school desk, a watercolor set, and a beautiful party dress. I received my Samantha doll the first year, and for many years after, my grandmother would add to her collection. Inside was a sweet memory- my Samantha doll, and all her accessories I used to love playing with years ago.

It looks like an old Victorian chest- woven taupe fabric edged with leather and gold buckles. A few years ago my mom arrived at my house with a very special box I hadn’t seen in a long time.
