Easter this year was even more special for our family as it was a celebration of Jesus's victory over sin and death, AND also my mama's birthday. (I'll refrain from stating her age like my sister did in church that morning...) For several years Mama had been saying that her bedroom was "nothing special" and that it needed "a little something" to make it more of a retreat. My very talented sister (who got ALL of the artistic ability in our sibling group) took the bait and redesigned the room for her complete with new pillows, curtains, decorations and a window seat. Saturday afternoon Traci and I managed to pull away from the family festivities and descend on Mama's room to put it all together.
We couldn't figure out how to keep her out of her room Saturday night, so Mama got her birthday present a day early.
The big reveal!
Kylie especially liked the window seat area (the actual window seat had been there since the house was finished 20 years ago, but no cushion, curtains, or pillows had ever found their way there...)
Why were there no pictures of Caleb during the reveal? Once again, the poor kid had shown his understanding of the "sleep while you can" theory and fell asleep on our way home from Ian's mom's house.
Kylie liked the window seat so much that she actually slept in mom's room in the seat. I mean really, what better birthday present could you want to wake up to?

Love the window seat and your Mom's reaction. Love the sleeping kids pictures.
Those 2 asleep are adorable. Kylie reminds of what Lia will look like in a few years...she's a left thumb sucker as well! Very sweet. Wanna come do my room? You guys are good :)

What an awesome gift!!! I LOVE window seats. I'd love a sunny snuggle spot to curl up & read. Maybe Noah will make me one someday!
What a terrific birthday gift - obviously she liked it!! Traci did a great job with the design. I bet this will become a favorite spot for Kylie as well.
What a great surprise for your mom. Kylie's so cute sleeping in the window.
Yes, we went to Daniel Stowe Botanical Gardens. It was AMAZING!
