the loot
opening gifts
Grandma & Grampy helping Blake play with her new laptop.
Blake's "big" gift was a Power Wheels Ford F-150. Lauren thought she got a great deal on this off of the internet just to find out that it was missing both side windows. Power Wheels was happy to send us our money back if we wanted to return the vehicle (they don't have any side windows to send us), but we couldn't find another similar vehicle for even close to what we paid for this...everything was WAY more expensive. So, Blake has a side-window-less pickup. O WELL...she didn't seem to mind. She had a blast cruising around the back yard!

We've been debating on when it would be best to turn Blake's room into a big girl room, and Lauren decided that while Grandma was here to help it would be nice to make the transition. Here's a before picture.
Both Grandma & Grampy were tons of help getting the room painted, decorated, etc. Lauren's Aunt Lynn had made a quilt for Blake, and we just LOVED all the colors in it. It was the inspiration for the color scheme in the room, and we think it turned out pretty nice. Here's the new bed and some wall decorations.
We organized the toys.
Here's a picture of the wall with the closet.

a different angle of the bed including the rug that Lauren absolutely loves :)
Lauren was able to make the crib sheet to match the quilt exactly. So, if anyone wants an easy pattern to make a fitted crib sheet (also fits toddler beds) e-mail Lauren and she'll get it to you. They are super simple to make, and there's nothing better than having stylish bed sheets ;) Hope all is well with everyone, and we'll hopefully have Blake's second year in review video posted some time this week...bet you can't wait.

Her room looks adorable! Great job!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKE!!! We're sending you big hugs from Wyoming! The room looks soooooo adorable. You guys did a great job. It does look tons bigger without the crib! Can't wait to see it in person sometime soon. By the way, no info posted yet on that craft fair, but I'll keep looking. It's usually in the first 2 weeks of November. Have a good weekend! Love, Jess
