Grandpa Mortensen made a new bed to match the crib frame of the bed that all my brothers and I slept in. He painted it baby blue. I wanted to make it slightly more feminine for Riley, so I asked Grandma Koyle to get some pink vinyl lettering. When we finally got it, I snuck into her room when Daddy was home watching the kids. I got the bottom done and when I started on the top when Riley discovered what I was doing. I almost didn't get it done because she was ready to go to bed at that point. She was so excited, she was giggling, shouting "Pincess, pincess!" She had to call Grandma Koyle, Grandpa Koyle and Rachelle to tell all about her new bed.
A few days later, we made the princess pillow that I found on Ebay and for Christmas, Grandma Mortensen made the Cinderella blanket. She has a decked out princess bed under $25 dollars. We both love it and Eli did too. He even said, "Riley's bed got upgraded."
