Early Birthday Present

When the boys recently got new bedroom furniture, Lindsey was just sure she would be getting new furniture too. She actually asked if she was getting a "new room like the boys". I had to explain that the boys 'needed' new furniture, but maybe she could get a new bedspread for her birthday the end of June. So, for fun, we went to JC Penny online and I let her pick out what she liked. Well.....Aunt Nar 'got wind' of Lindsey's birthday request and went ahead and ordered a bedspread, butterfly curtains, a decorative butterfly wall netting, etc. So, while Lindsey was playing downstairs, Brian and I managed to transform her room into a "purple butterfly oasis". (purple is her new favorite color because it is her Aunt's favorite color.) We also had Aunt Nar's permission to transform her room earlier than her birthday. Needless to say, Lindsey was SO happy beyond words. The next morning she made up her bed and even put a plastic rose on top. She now has her "new room". :)

The room is gorgeous. How amazing that you or Aunt Nar found all that stuff to match the room and painted border perfectly. Love it.

How perfect the purples match! Wow! So cool to see this for the first time. Can't wait to see it in person in a few weeks. Glad she likes it.
