Gigi's House

We were excited to go and play with Simone and Max a few months backHere is the little guy with a fun Kai-Lan dollSimone's new baby brother, only he isn't so new anymore.Gigi has a lovely house, we really enjoyed playing with her toysUpstairs Holly and Chloe found a doll house to play withBut Holly as usual eventually found her way into troubleFinding something to climb up on and get into stuffSimone is about a year older then Holly and Chloe so it was fun to see the older toysIt gave us lots of ideas on when to get for upcoming Christmas and Birthday presents.Now this I thought was cool. Simone actually sleeps up on the loft bed above and mom and dad in the queen below. I so want to get a loft bed for Holly's room!
