A House for Anna

Yesterday our sweet, little Anna turned 5. The kid basically has every toy she could ever want thanks to Grandma, so we had no clue what to get her. Then I found this…

…on a local facebook group where you can buy/sell used items. It was FULL of everything we needed. Barbies, furniture, clothes, cars… I knew it would be the perfect thing for Anna, and get this, I paid $50 for ALL of it! That’s right! $50!

This is what it looked like when I got it. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with it like that, I just wanted to spruce it up because, hello, I’m me.

With a lot of mod podge, a few trips to the scrapbook section of Hobby Lobby, and some creativity, Barbie has yet another dream house.

The look on Anna’s face when she saw this huge present was priceless. What kid doesn’t want to unwrap a present as tall as they are?

I think it’s safe to say this years present was a success! She’s spent every waking minute playing with her new house.

*Take a closer look and you’ll see she’s already redecorated. Like mother, like daughter…
