Remember when the banks had the CHRISTMAS CLUB. Well my wife always got one and paid every week. With 4 girls it sure came handy at Christmas time. We always had a very good Christmas and it was paid for.

Maybe there is a "Bankrupt Barbie", with little miniature over extended credit cards along with a mailbox full of over due notices. That way the child can learn what spending too much is like.

lol Thats just what I was thinking.

I would put some of the Barbies aside for the next 2 birthdays and Christmas.

I think my niece had 19 naked blonde Barbies in her room - they never put clothes ON the dolls, only take them off. For some reason everyone gave her a Barbie for Christmas one year. My SIL vacuumed up tiny high heels, tiaras and gloves for years. You have much to look forward too.

You will have a great time when she opens the gift and sees the Barbie(s). Welcome to Barbie Land!

They're only young once. My oldest daughter still talks about how much she loved playing Barbie. My husband banded us from the "Pink Aisle" in the stores. Now she just bought herself a four wheeler.

Ok, Now I feel like one of "those parents" that does anything to make their kid happy. I just ran out to toys r us at 11:00 at night to buy barbies for DD for christmas. We were trying to catch the sale on-line tonight but everything was out of stock. Ran to the store and came home with tea party barbie, a fairy tale barbie w/ 3 changes of clothes in the box, a barbie horse and carriage and a barbie car for $80. It was all buy 1 get 1 50% off. I would have bought the barbie camper but it was $80 by itself. This is my DD's starter barbie stuff. She has loved the barbie movies so we decided it was time but I really felt silly going to the store in the middle of the night (sale ended at midnight).
When I was four I got a Slinky, my brother bend it the next day, but the following xmas I got a shirt. One gift per year. Worked fine for me.


2005 Chev 5.3 Supercharged 395HP 425 T hp. Two wheels on front, 2 on back. one seat, tint windows. front and rear bumpers, headlights, windows. Door on each side. Heater, floor mats, 6 Reese candy bars, junk behind seats, some dirt. Pulls so hard.
