For Christmas this year, we decided to get creative - and join forces with our parents - to give the girls a really wonderful gift - a new playroom! My parents bought the girls a play table and chairs. Grandma Loretta gave them an easel, and Mark and I did the manual labor. We painted an entire wall with chalkboard paint, hung their art projects from a red and white polka dot ribbon and even repainted and recovered a child-size rocking chair someone gave us. Isn't it cute?! All the hard work - and generosity of their grandparents - certainly paid off! The girls love their new playroom!
Even Nora can sit at the table, and today - for the first time ever - Evie shared with her little sister! Now Nora didn't actually need or want the marker cap, but still ... baby steps!! Anyways, we're really excited about their new room and have plans for cute curtains next (Great Yiayia, hope you're up for some sewing!) Thank you to everyone who pitched in to give the girls a truly lovely Christmas - and a gift they will use for years to come!
