Amazing Gift

Today Ally received an amazing package from Grandma Debbie and Poppy Dave.
Becky and I had some idea what it was so I took pictures of everything.


The box was almost as big as Ally. 


Filled with packing peanuts. We had to pause and put Cloey in her crate so she wouldn't eat any.  Ally wasn't sure what to think about the plastic bag that was soft and squishy.

She was focused on what else was in the box.


Becky went to get a trash bag for the peanuts.


Ally had fun playing with the pink package peanuts,


They worked together to remove some of the packing and pull out 


Doll bunk beds!!!!



Ally could hardly believe it. White bunk beds for her A.merican girl dolls.

Label on the bottom commemorating it.


Finally Ally opened the plastic bag and when she realized it was bedding for the bunks, she lay down and curled her body around them.


Posing for a picture after we made up the bed.


Ally carried the bunks to her room.


The dolls have been sleeping on a doll bed that a relative made me when I was a girl. That bed is a replica of my childhood bed. It is one of the few toys of mine that we have. It is very special. 
But having her own replica beds?

That takes the cake. 


Ally asked softly, "they made it? It looks like something you buy in the store" we talked about how Poppy purchased and cut the wood and built the bunk beds. Grandma Debbie shopped for fabric, penguin flannel of course and made mattresses, and quilts and pillows for each bunk. She even remembered throw pillows. 

It is perfect. Just perfect.

Thank you so much Debbie and DAviD for such an amazing and thoughtful gift. And to Aunt Beth for planting the seed.
