Big Girl Room

We spent the afternoon today transforming Alexia's room into a "Big Girl Room"...she was very excited about this and has been waiting for this day since we first talked about doing it on her birthday. 

We started with some new curtains and a couple of new throw pillows...

And then we put on her new comforter set...which is very bright, but looks great!!

We cleaned up and rearranged some of her dressers and her bookshelf...

Here's the Big Girl herself...showing off her new room to her little sister...

And, after a long afternoon/evening of working in her room...she quickly got snuggled into bed and was ready to call it a night!!

As I was tucking her into bed...I used this opportunity to explain to her all of the "responsiblity" that comes with having a "Big Girl Room"...her response, "Don't worry, Mommy...I'm not ever going to play in my room and mess it up...it's so pretty that I always want it to look like this...I really love it...I want to keep it like this forever...really...I'm serious!"

I'm thankful she loves it so much :)
