Happy New Year!!!

Happy NYE! Ken on the floor with his feet up. And Shaft Barbie still in a dangerous position.

Housewarming Bash

Was just asked to re-attach the doors... Looks like the housewarming party was a barn burner... I am especially concerned about the one who passed out with her head in the elevator shaft...

The Build

It all began with a bunch of bags and pieces and directions that were incomprehensible. 

And then we found these helpers.

We made some progress.

Realized we weren't alone.

And finally were victorious...until we realized the Dream House Drama had just begun! What follows are the (mis)adventures of the Barbie Dreamhouse according to our children.

The Beginning...

It all began with our 5-year old kid's Christmas Wish List.

DREAMHOUSE!

Not any dreamhouse. But the Barbie one. With 2 elevators. And 3-stories. And AS TALL AS I AM!

Immediately we said "No." Our house is small, we have 3 dollhouses already, we have no need for another giant hunk of plastic in our house. And then...

Jen remembered being a 5-year and waking up on Christmas morning and this being next to her bed.

We relented and this was under the tree on Christmas morning.

Santa For-The-Win!
