Little House Comes to Our House

I have a friend who told me her dad had made a replica dollhouse of the "Little House on the Prairie" house and asked me if the girls would want it.  HELLO!!  YES!!  She asked her dad to make sure it was okay with him if she were to give it away (she doesn't have any children nor nieces/cousins who were interested and she knew we are LHOTP die hard fans!) and he said yes!  Last week I didn't tell the girls where we were going and we showed up at her house.  They were so excited for many reasons...  1. She has this really incredible treehouse and swing in her front yard that is a kid's dream come true  2. She has a "chalk room."  It is a little room/loft style space that has been painted entirely with chalkboard paint.  It is tucked away in the rafters/ceiling of her roofed patio.  3.  The girls got this little dollhouse.  Yes...all this cool kid stuff and she doesn't have any children.  However, she enjoys children and all the neighbor children can visit!  Unfortunately for us, we live too far away for frequent visits.  Nevertheless, I am completely excited and grateful for her generosity and thoughtfulness...

The girls have already spent countless hours playing with this gem of a toy!
