Ellie's Room 90% finished

I finally took some good pictures of Ellie's room! I love how it turned out, and I just need a headboard, dust ruffle and a bean bag chair for the corner, then we'll be set! Possibly thinking of making a cute bunting to go on the wall somewhere, but not 100% sure, yet!

 I picked up the white frame at Hobby Lobby on our girl's day, and I LOVE it. Also, I LOOOVE that picture of Ellie. She was (and still is) such a little cutie!

 The dresser that I refinished last summer. Not perfect, and I learned a LOT if I ever decide to do one again.

I had these wall stickers for her nursery when we lived in Utah, but they were so trashed after being on 3 different bedroom walls! I found them at Hobby Lobby! Woohoo! I love that I found them again because I love the little touch the add to her room.

I'm considering dying the blackout curtains a dark brown, but I'm not sure how the fabric will take it so that project is on hold for now.

Her quilt is so cute, and while it is FAR from perfect, I am glad I took the project head on and decided I could try it. It took way longer than a quilt should take, ha ha, but it's done and that's all that matters!

I think Ellie's room is probably the most decorated/cutest room in the house. Someday I'll get to furnishing and decorating the rest of our house...

Going Private

My blog has been getting weird traffic lately from weird countries that I don't know anybody from, or know of anyone visiting, so I have decided to make it private to keep my kiddos and our family safe from weirdos! So, if you'd like an invite to the blog, please leave a comment with your email and I will add you to the list!

I'll be making it private on 2/16/13 (Next Saturday) so please get me your emails before then!

Thanks!

Ellie's 2nd birthday: part 2

On the day before Ellie's birthday, we took her out to breakfast to Cracker Barrel. She had a ton of fun & loved looking at everything in the store!

The morning of her birthday, I made pancakes, and I made a Mickey Mouse shaped pancake for her. She LOVED it!

 

We had some fun and played with her during the day, but it was a pretty typical day.

We had Mexican casserole for dinner, which is her favorite meal, and she ate a TON of it, like always.

I made her a boiled black cake, and we FaceTimed with Grandma & Grandpa Timothy so they could help sing Happy Birthday to her.


 

She loved the attention and only wanted the ice cream (just like last year!!) until her hands got way too cold for it!



We had a great low key day and had a lot of fun with our sweet little girl! Happy Birthday, Ellie! We sure love you!
