Our monthly Mother Daughter Book Club was at the Gulbransen’s, this month. Hannah G chose The Princess Companion by Melanie Cellier. It is a retelling of the princess and the pea. Reese really liked this one and Quincy didn’t enjoy is as much. I liked the plot twists, and a few of the secondary characters, but found both the prince, princess, and the king and queen to be lacking enough amiable qualities to make me want to really root for any of them. I love our book club because of the wonderful women in it, and the variety of books we get to read. I probably would not have picked a princess fairy tale off the shelf, but it was fun to read something so light.
Katie, Jill, Hannah, and Emma hosted us all out on their back deck, with Christmas lights and delicious food, princess crowns (of course!) and it was a wonderfully warm evening with some of our favorite people.
We also celebrated Jill G’s early high school graduation. Way to go Jilly! We played a party game all about her, had some of her favorite snacks, and the girls played a game called Among Us that they’re all really into.

I ran across these old pics on the blog of our American Girl Book Club, with mostly the same girls. It’s so fun to see how much they have all grown up!
