I love having parties and my girls do too! They were over the moon when they found out we were going to have An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars doll party!

If you have little girls and have not heard of An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars. here is some information about the movie.

Meet McKenna Brooks^™, a determined and confident young gymnast, in this all-new modern-day adventure. McKenna^™ is on track to make the regional competitive gymnastics team but off-track in school, where she’s suddenly struggling to keep up.  When her teacher suggests a tutor, she’s embarrassed and desperate to keep it a secret from her friends. Then a bad fall at the gym sidetracks her from her favorite sport.  Will she recover in time to make the team? Can she succeed in school, too?  McKenna^™ needs to focus on her strengths to overcome her challenges – and, with the help of family and friends, find a way to believe in herself again.

We invited 9 girlfriends and their special dolls to join us in a viewing party of An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars. Only 7 were able to attend due to bad weather and 1 reschedule of the party. It seems that the weather was working against our party.  We enjoyed pizza and homemade cupcakes for the occasion. 

Each girl got their own An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars bracelets and activity sheets to take home. At the end of the party we had a raffle and one darling little girl took home her very own copy of An American Girl: McKenna Shoots for the Stars. The party was a huge success.

This move is wonderful. I enjoyed watching it my self. It has such a great positive message about friendship and lives challenges and overcoming them.
