Claire was so excited for her birthday. Auntie Angie made this amazing banner. I LOVE it!!! (thanks sis)
Her party was American Girl themed. It started out with these invitations for her friends and their dolls. They each got a ticket to come aboard the American Doll Express.
Passports were provided and handed out at the door:
The party began with Kit's Cooking in the United States where each girl got to bake thier own cookie. M&M to be exact.
Introductions were made and they started baking.
They were sure to get a stamp in each country they visited.
Of course the dolls were set aside...we would hate to get them choclatey!
Then they were off to Mexico where Josefina created new looks for each passenger and their doll. New flowers for their hair...
and matching scarves (thanks to an awesome friend that surged every single one of these for me!!!)
Then they went to Sweeden and got snacks from Kirsten for the upcoming movie. 
The final destination was the movie theatre in the U.S. starring Chrissa in Chrissa Stands Strong.
The gang:
Scarves and flowers:
The party was a huge success. Claire and her friends had so much fun. 
The night ended with the family telling her one thing they loved about her.Audrey loves that Claire loves her.
Hallie loves that Claire helps her.
Dad loves that Claire loves to learn new things.
Aunt Michelle loves that Claire in kind to everyone.
And Mom loves that Claire is such a wonderful helper and was so considerate in helping with the party.
We love you, Claire. Happy Birthday!!!
