When I was little I loved to play with my Barbies. I had so many, but didn't have a house for them until the Christmas of my second grade year. This house was no the typical pink plastic Barbie house that everyone had. My dad built me this house out of wood and it came complete with furniture that my Grandma made. The house is probably around 4 feet wide and 4 feet tall. When it was closed it looked just like a rectangle house with a slanted roof on both sides. To play in the house you had to unlatch a hook on each side and the front of the house came down to reveal the inside. On the first floor there was a kitchen and family room with a couch, fireplace, rocking chair, and lamp that my Grandma made. I had to pretend there were stairs to get to the second story because my house did not include that. There were three rooms upstairs. there was a bedroom with a big white bed and matching vanity; a smaller room for the little Barbies, and a bathroom complete with a sink and toilet. Of course to make the house even more finished I added my other plastic furniture that I already had. It was the best Barbie house anyone could ever imagine. This present probably got more use out of it than any of my others and it truly a treasure of mine. It is something that I still have and that I plan on keeping forever. I have to admit that when my three and six year old nieces come to visit, I play Barbies with them in my Barbie house.

ahhhh! Barbies were my favorite! I used to play with them all the time with either my younger sister or my neighbors. One of my neighbors had had a wooden Barbie house. It wasn't as big as yours though! That's sweet. I was really into giving Barbies haircuts. eeeek.
