Christmas Morning

I won't keep you in suspense. She likes it! It was a total surprise, too! We moved it into place last night, in her basement playroom. For those of you who might ever make one of these, this puppy is heavy...so do the work on the same level where the kitchen is going to live if you can!

Apologies that these first few photos are blurry. Someone got the lens of the camera a little buttery when she was making baklava. Hubby fixed it, as you'll notice in a little bit!

Here is is, in her playroom. We moved a couple of chairs from upstairs so she'd have a kitchen table and chairs.


We're using the top of a toy chest as the 'pantry' for her boxes and containers.


We put a few things into the baskets that hold the food, dishes, pots, etc. These are things we had on hand, mostly from friends or yard sales.


Just for fun, we put a piece of (plastic) pizza on a plate in the microwave. Hee!


We got quite the late start on Christmas Morning, but it was fine. A lot of family and friends were in cahoots on this gift, so her presents under the tree included the food I pictured in an earlier post, kitchen towels, potholders, hot pads, a tea set and a mixer. She was perfectly content to just play with those things upstairs, but we eventually lured her downstairs. (Oh, and we brought down all those things, too!) She wasn't sure where to begin!






Is that a microwave?




When she found the phone, she called Hello Kitty right away, to invite her for tea.


She is truly happy and content!


Thanks for sharing this with us! It has been a load of fun to gather things and make this happen. I think she's going to get a great deal of use from her new kitchen and all the things in it! :)

Merry Christmas!
