Dolls on table at Grandma's

 

We had a doll party with my sisters, sisters-in-law and their daughters. My Mom has collected a lot of dolls over the years and she was ready to give some away to her granddaughters.

Each granddaughter got to choose a doll to keep.

Grandma and granddaughter

 

Or you could have everyone bring their own doll.  Grandma shared briefly why she started collecting dolls. 

We used Compare-a-Face on the Family Tree App

Each girl decorated a card with the ancestor's name to go with her doll.

At Grandma's doll party

 

The program compared a photo of the doll's face to the granddaughter's ancestors and gave some possible matches. Each granddaughter chose a female ancestor that matched.

Making a tag for ancestor dolls

 

I had also preprinted a few ancestor stories that if someone had chosen that ancestor, she could add the story to the back of the card.

Of course, there was food to enjoy too!

Doll Party and tarts

 

Dessert was berry filled tarts from the girls'  Great-Grandmother Brimhall's recipe.
