Felicity wanted one thing for her birthday, a bunk bed. She's talked about it for MONTHS. Thanks to IKEA, we could afford to grant her this wish. :) We were happy to do it because she was under the impression that she'd only ever get a bunk bed if she had a sister. We didn't want her to think that her desires would only be met based on the gender of the baby, so I'm glad her birthday came before baby's due date and she now knows that we wanted to give her a bunk bed because we listened to her, and not just because of circumstances.
Zac picked up a simple, unfinished bunk at IKEA and painted it white. The night before Felicity's tea party, he put her to bed in the boys' room, and worked until 2am putting together her bunk and touching up paint here and there. I came in towards the end and made things cute. Originally I'd wanted to make her some wall hangings, but of course, those plans had to be nixed. I did hand sew her some buntings which will hang from her curtains, but they were used to decorate the tea party and are still hanging up. :)
The next morning, still in our jammies, we revealed our gift to her. She was thrilled! And it was done just in time for 4 sweet girls to play in during the tea party, which they did....a lot.
Here's a little peek into Felicity's room.
