Barbie's Memorial Day BBQ 2020

My Barbie crew headed outside to fire up the grill for a Memorial Day Bar-B-Que. Nothing fancy during quarantine, just immediate family, serving burgers and dogs (and Barbie size corn on the cob). But the weather was perfect so everyone was happy. Not too many neighbors drove by while the photographer was sitting in the grass in the front yard trying to get pictures... So she was happy too:@)

Barbie says ya gotta love a guy that cooks😉

There are two things that always make me smile, bubbles and balloons:) I've wanted Barbie size balloons for a while now, and saw this idea on Pinterest to make them from balloons and ping-pong balls. Wa-La, happy times!

For each Barbie balloon:
2 1/4" balloon-I just laid a ruler across the widest part of an un-inflated balloon
half of a pipe cleaner
ping-pong ball
glue is optional

Cut rolled end off of balloon so it's easier to stretch open. 

Stretch balloon over ball.
Tighten up the balloon so it lays smooth over the ball.
Wrap pipe cleaner around bottom of balloon and twist closed.

Trim the excess from the bottom so it looks like the balloon was tied closed. (I tried rolling it up, not worth it folks...)
Straighten the pipe cleaners and twist the bottoms together to create a balloon bouquet, that will also make it easier to wrap around Barbie's hand so she can carry the balloons.

Barbie says balloons just make everything better!
Let's fire up the grill and 
have a Happy Memorial Day Weekend😎
The end.

    The peas and poppy seeds really dress up your coleslaw, so pretty! Barbie and Ken cooking out are adorable :) Have a great Memorial Day Lynn!

    The coleslaw sound like a great combo with the peas and the poppy seed dressing. I hope you have a happy June Lynn.
