Barbie Birthday Bash

She wanted a desk for her sixth birthday. We don't live in a very big town so it was a little difficult to track one down that matched her room. I had been on the look-out for awhile and spotted one in St. George. So I asked the hubby to put her in our bed to sleep while I ran down with a friend late that night to pick it up. I wanted to set it up and then move her into her room while she was asleep so it would be a surprise when she woke up. I had to break it down to fit in my car so I got right to work putting it together when I got home. I turned on the lights in her room, got out the power drill and screws and put it together. It had some heavy pieces to carry in so I was hoping she wouldn't wake up from the other room ( I wasn't quiet by any means). When I was almost finished and admiring my work I stood up and looked over at her bed and there she was! I couldn't believe she never woke up with the lights on, the power drill and me in and out with the pieces! I guess she is a hard sleeper. Mike obviously didn't understand what I meant and put her to bed in her own bed. All was well the next morning when she woke up and ran into our room so excited for her new desk.

She had it decorated in no time. She has even recently added her name with paper letters on the mirror just like they do at Evans (the hair college).

She finally got the Horseland game she had wanted!


The cousins at her Birthday dinner.


PROOF - she does love her sister, sometimes anyway:)


Her friend party - Barbie themed. I finally gave in and let her have a Barbie party.
We hired a neighbor to come and do balloons. She was AMAZING. They played games, went on a balloon adventure and then she made them their own balloon animals.


She started with this balloon hat . . . .

Then each friend added a piece until it looked like this!


Lunch


We decorated cookies.


Blowing out SIX candles.

And the best part was when Barbie showed up! My teacher friend's gorgeous daughter and her friend showed up and took pictures with all the girls! The kiddies loved it. Thank you Kim and Madi!
