barbie clothes

this dress was made by Denisa. she is a real artist with the needle.She has some really nice patterns that you can print. I have done several and they are turning out nice, nothing as fancy as hers but I think my girls will like them.

Around Here

This week the girls and I have been getting excited about Valentines day. We made cards yesterday and today we made decorations to hang on our walls. Derek has the camera today or I would have put pictures on here. We are also making cookies.
The girls love doing crafts and to help me cook so that makes all of this very fun for them.
The picture above is from a day that we decided was "We love Papa" day. The kids made cards for him and I made Pad Thai soup which he had been wanting. than we had a candle light dinner. followed be the chocolate lava cupcake recipe I had posted earlier.
The other evening the neighbor boy, Samuel, brought over a really big activity coloring book over for the girls. The girls have really enjoyed that.

The Doll House

Here are the pictures of the doll house finally. These are all from Christmas morning. The girls have had so much fun with it. That day Lars was pretty sure the steps were only for his guy.





Heidi is having her new doll come through the front door in this pic.






Anyway, we've had a good holiday season.



Happy 2008 to you all!

Tonight

I am up way to late for me. but here is a quick note.
I am so excited about Christmas! we have been making things and doing lots of fun stuff together its just so fun! Derek is making a really awesome doll house for the girls. His carpentry skills are in very good working order. :)
the girls and I had a vary fun time today making and painting barbie food and dishes from clay. we are not vary talented but we had tons of fun and the girls like what we made.
the picture is of the babies with the dolls Derek made last week. You can see that Heidi's dolls head is smaller, Derek just made them from an idea he had so he didn't think he would have to make the heads as huge as he did. He wasn't going to make any doll for Lars since boys don't play with dolls but Lars was so excited about theirs and so obviously sad about not getting anything that was being sewn that Derek quick made the little bear.
well, Happy holidays to you and yours and enjoy all the good things like eggnog. :)
