Aunt Amy sat down with each of the kids at the beginning of the year and helped them choose some goals they wanted to accomplish in the coming year. Eden told her mom that she wanted to have a Book Club with some of her friends from school and church. They sent out invitations and the first meeting happened last last Saturday. The book for the month was 100 Dresses. It was beautifully done with a tea party luncheon after the book discussion. Eight of Eden's friends were able to come and it sounds like everyone had a great time. Eden taught the girls how to make an Origami dress that they took home afterwards. I've included some pictures of the festivities. Each girl will be given a journal at the next meeting to write their thoughts about the books they are reading each month. Eden shared with me a quote that she liked from the book this month. "After a long long time she reached an important conclusion. She would never stand by and say nothing again." Next month they will be reading The Secret Garden.
