Bunk beds!

Nellie and Annie share a smallish room, so we kind of knew bunk beds were inevitable. Things were getting crowded and their sleep wasn't great anyway, so we decided to ditch the twin and crib for twin-over-full bunk beds at Christmas.

It's actually going pretty well! Nellie calls the two beds "the tree house and the cave." Mostly she plays on the top bunk, and both girls sleep in the full bed. They are very cute cuddled in there together! We were a little nervous about the mattress when it was delivered--it came rolled up in a package about my size. But it puffed right up and it's really comfortable!

The girls have slept in the beds every night since we put them together, and there's not too much silliness at bed time. I actually think bed time is going better than ever. We finally bought new sheets today, and Kevin and Nellie are upstairs right now putting together the under-bed storage. So I'll post pictures of the finished product. In the meantime, here are some from the big reveal on Christmas Eve. None of Annie--she wouldn't come in the room for a while. Poor thing, I think she was a little young to have her crib disappear. She seems to have adjusted, though!
