We got a bed for Alexander's room from Ikea (actually from Nana and Papa for Christmas). Papa brought it down from CT this week and put it together for us. It's a loft bed. Glenn will sleep up top when we have company visiting, and when we move Alexander from the crib to the bed (which will probably be soon), we'll put the mattress on the floor below the bed. Both boys love the bed up top with the canopy and Alexander even loves playing below it.


Here are a couple pictures of my new work space. I love it. It's so much nicer than the card table I was working on before.



Glenn and I made a gingerbread train today. He actually did most of the candy decorating while I did the icing. I had it already put together for him when he came home from school so we could get right to decorating it. He's so proud of his creation. And now he sits and stares at it hoping I'll say he can eat it (he's actually do that right now).
