Big Girl Bed

(view from doorway)

We took the plunge a week ago and decided to get Kayla her own bed. I was a little hesitant since the girls share a room, but Kayla has loved playing on Tori's bed. We spent an afternoon at IKEA and got an identical bed to the one we got Tori when she turned 2. I love the way the beds work together in their bedroom, and both girls are thrilled with the new bed. Kayla hasn't had many issues (yet) with sleeping in her new bed, and she seems to be tickled with the notion of being able to get out of bed on her own when she wakes up. Here are a few pictures of the girls new bedroom, and of Kayla sleeping in her bed for the first time.

Easter Weekend

Saturday of Easter weekend was a jam-packed day for us. We started the day with Easter festivities at the church where Tori attends pre-school. There were egg hunts, face painting, and a visit with the Easter bunny.

Kayla wasn't quite sure what to do when it came to picking up eggs; Tori had a ball racing through the field as fast as she could go, scooping up eggs as she went.

Tori wanted to do every activity available, including sitting with the Easter Bunny - her first time EVER of willful contact with said character (or any character, for that matter)

Once at home we continued with an egg hunt in our back yard, and opening of Easter baskets.

After an exciting, fun, and candy filled morning, it was time to head to IKEA with Papa in order to get Kayla's big-girl bed. Pics to come.

Preschool Pictures

I am quite pleased at how Tori's pictures turned out. She's gone through a shy stage and often doesn't want to smile for pictures, especially for strangers. Needless to say I was a little concerned at how her first portraits, without mom and dad, would turn out. I love it! Can you believe how long her hair is getting?
