There is part of me that’s waiting for my daughter to grow out of Barbie.  She’s always been a Barbie fan, but I know that at some point in time, it’s not going to be cool anymore.  I can remember when one Christmas, everything she got was Barbie.  She loved it.

However, when Barbie and the Diamond Castle arrived on our doorstep, Samara was overly excited.  It was all I could do to calm her down, get her to finish her homework, and then allow her to watch the DVD.  And after it was over, we went to my boyfriend’s house where she sat down with his four year old and watched it again.

I’ve lost count at how many times we’ve watched this movie, so based on Samara’s reaction, the movie was a hit.

Barbie movies over the years have continued to improve and impress me.  There are defined plots and while we have many movies that my kids love, I just can’t stomach them. Barbie and the Diamond Castle isn’t one of them.  A few days after we received the movie, I sat down with the girls to watch it as well.

As with Babrie movies of the past, I was swept into imagining my life as a princess, just like Barbie, with the clothes, the castle, and of course, Prince Charming.

If your daughter is into Barbie, or princesses, then I definately recommend picking up Barbie and the Diamond Castle.  It would make a great Christmas present for your daughter and it comes highly recommened by the girls in this household.

And make sure that you check out the website for more on Barbie and the Diamond Castle where there is more Barbie fun, including instructions to host a Princess Sleepover.  We’ll be working on that one real soon.

Until next time…
