Party Time - Happy Birthday Peggy Sue.

Kaya, Saige and Chrissy are on their way to Peggy Sue's party...Kaya has a bag with the gifts in.

In the meantime Peggy Sue is busy getting herself ready although she still doesn't know what for.

Oh dear my hair looks a mess, she sighs.

I'll just give it a quick comb.

Ah that is looking better.

While she is busy getting ready, being coaxed along by Little Owen there is much business happening in the other room.

The guests are arriving.

Sasha tells Lottie how lovely she looks.

Edith and Anne-Marie seem deep in discussion.

Ziva is making sure the table has enough cups for the tea.

Edith and Anne-Marie are discussing the gift they are going to be giving Peggy Sue.

It all goes quiet....Peggy Sue arrives...

SURPRISE!  They all call out.

Henry and Rory have joined the party as well and send up a very loud cheer indeed!

Peggy Sue looks rather shocked.

She covers her mouth in astonishment

Oh my goodness she exclaims.

This is a surprise.

The guests all start mingling and chatting.

Ziva wanders over to say hello to Henry, Rory and Emily.

Danni is chatting to Sasha and Lottie and Peggy Sue is talking to Anne-Marie and Edith

Kaya arrives and hands Peggy Sue her gift.

Oh thank you Kaya.

Kaya, Saige and Chrissy have given her a little teeny tiny dollshouse kit.

Saige gives Peggy Sue a big hug

Happy Birthday Sweet Peggy Sue, she says.

Amber comes over and gives Peggy Sue a gift.

A little bottle of Rose Cologne in pretty packaging

Happy Birthday Peggy Sue, I hope you like it. Said Amber

Anne-Marie and Edith give Peggy Sue a very special group portrait.

It is from Edith, Myself and Margaret, Bertie and Betsy who couldn't come.

Peggy Sue is astonished at the lovely thoughtful gift.

I shall hang that up in my bedroom she tells the girls.

Danni and Ziva watch on as Peggy Sue opens some more gifts.

Oh what fun an animal card sewing kit.  I shall enjoy doing this!

Peggy Sue spreads out all the cards to have a good look at them.

Amber watches Peggy Sue look at the special butterfly cards.

We thought you might like these as inspiration for your sketch journal.  She tells Peggy Sue.

Oh I will, they are lovely.  Peggy Sue tells them.

It doesn't take long and they start on the party food.

They are all having a lot of fun and there are more guests yet to arrive so I would imagine this party will be spread over a couple of days!

Waking up...

Little Owen wakes Peggy Sue up early...

I think he is going to have his work cut out for him, getting her ready for her surprise party. 

Peggy Sue is NOT an early person!  You can read about her waking up  here.

In the meantime the girls are busy getting things ready for the party as they too got up bright and early.

Busy Baking.

The girls have been very busy today preparing for Peggy Sue's surprise birthday party.

Emily explains that they must wear aprons and have their hair tied back when they are cooking

She helps Sasha with her hair while Lottie looks on.

There you go Sasha, all tied back neatly.

Emily then helps Lottie with her hair.

Gosh you have very thick hair don't you Lottie.  I can only get the hair band round once. 

Still I am sure it will do.

Lottie puts on her apron and then goes and helps Sasha with the preparing of the ingredients while Emily checks the first batch of cakes which are in the oven.

Sasha and Lottie chat about the different types of cakes they will be making.

Emily checks the cakes to see how they are cooking.

They are looking good, about five more minutes should do it.  

She puts them back in the oven and closes it

How you get on Sasha & Lottie.  I am almost ready for the next lot of cakes.  

Just got to check the pot in the main oven.

Emily opens the oven to check on the casserole that is cooking

She is hoping it is done soon so that they can use both parts of the oven to bake their cakes.

She is very careful while she checks making sure she has her oven gloves on.

Nearly done.  She sighs.  I think the boys are going to need this later as it is so cold out.

There seems to be a lot of chit chat going on between Sasha and Lottie and Emily checks that they are actually making some progress with the mixing!

I'm just passing Sasha the milk Lottie explains.

Jolly good, looks like the mixture will be ready soon.

The girls continue with their baking for most of the day.

A lot of treats will be in store!

Planning a party.

What are you doing Emily?  Sasha asks as she wanders over to see what Emily is writing.

I'm planning a party.  Emily tells Sasha.

What party?  Sasha asks.

Well, it is Peggy Sue's birthday on Saturday so I thought we would have a surprise part for her.  Emily explains.

Oh how exciting.  Sasha gasps.

Lottie walks over to see what the girls are doing.

Hi Lottie.  Emily says.

Hi.  Lottie replies.  Do you need any help or ideas?

Oh yes please, all ideas are welcome.  Said Emily.

So far I have cakes, games, drinks and decorations written down on my list. Emily tells the girls.

But wait! Sasha gasps.  Do you have a dress?  You can't go to a party dressed like that.  They are okay for messing around with Henry, but this is going to be a dressing up party!

Well of course I do!  Lottie retorts.  Mum may have forgotten to pack a sweater for me, but she did pack a dress 'just in case it is needed'.  

Although secretly at the time Lottie thought it was completely unnecessary to pack a dress, now she is secretly pleased as the party does sound rather exciting as the girls plan to invite their friends from 'all around the world'.  

Phew that is a relief! Thinks Sasha.

What do you mean 'all around the world'.  Lottie asks Emily and Sasha.

Well... Emily starts to explain.  This is going to be both a real party and a virtual party.  So those that can't ACTUALLY make it in person, can come in virtual reality.  They can dress up, tell us what they would like to eat, and even send us a photo if they want.

Oh what fun it sounds!  I wonder how many of our friends will come?

To join in is simple, just leave a comment or send an email about what you are planning to wear and if you are going to bring some party food, let us know what you will be bringing.  If you want to send a photo as well to be posted on the party page please feel free to do so.  It should be a fun party!

(It is open to any type of doll Sasha or otherwise!)
