an early gift from santa

When we took the girls to see Santa on Black Friday Morgan asked for a big girl bed. Who asks for that? We've been having some issues with her getting up at night and she told us that if she had a big bed like sissy she would stay in it. It wasn't as simple as just converting the crib to a full size bed. The whole room had to be painted. It wasn't the smartest idea to take on this project around the holidays. It's been 12 days since we started and the room still isn't completely put back together.

We moved almost everything out, taped, painted and painted some more. There was stuff everywhere so we banned the kids to the playroom for the weekend. It looked like this.

We told her that Santa couldn't fit the bed in his sleigh so he asked us to get it for her. My sweet baby girl now has her big girl bed. I'm happy to say that it has helped with the sleep issues and she does stay in there more, but there are still mornings where we find her in Addison's bed. Better there than in my bed.

These two had the giggles and couldn't sit still for a picture. I love how happy they look here.

Sisters and best friends.

I'm sad that the room is now lacking a space for the rocking chair. I'm not mentally ready to give it up yet. It's still sitting in the front hallway to our house. That part makes me sad.
