My Other Christmas Project

I got this idea from my sister Capri. Her and Craig had made a barbie house for their daughter Makenna many years ago. Every time Bethanee was over at there house she wanted to play with it. Since she was probably 3 I have wanted to make one for her, but we just haven't had the room.(These pictures don't do it justice, it is Huge!) Now that we have a big house and Bethanee has her own room, I thought it would be perfect for a Christmas present this year. I was right, she LOVES it!! I actually have fun playing barbies with Bethanee and her new barbie house!

Capri and Makenna had also given me some barbie furniture, thanks guys :) Santa got Bethanee a whole house full of furniture and I made two beds, so she had plenty to fill the house with. Santa also got her the dolls Troy, Sharpay, and Gabriella from HSM (high school musical for those living on another planet). She has played with it every day and has rearranged the furniture and rooms. She's having so much fun with it, it was definitely worth all the work it took to build it. :)

I took these pictures Christmas day. Bethanee has decorated the wall's with stickers and beads. I didn't have a lot of time to "decorate" it. I want to paint a few windows and hang up a little mirror and stuff like that. It's so cute though, and its so fun watching and playing with Bethanee, she is my Princess!

I love every last bit of it, especially the embroidered "Troy" on his bedspread. What a lovely touch! Plus he's freaking hot.

That is so cute Mindee! Im impressed! So I really dont care about the age thing its just funny that people always think Jen is the older one, becuase she has older kids and was married first. Hey did you get the special friend inside joke? lol Your Mom use to always say that when one of us had a boyfriend, it was just funny she would never say boyfriend! :) haha to cute!
