We had a very nice Christmas. Jason and I didn't want to overdo it this year, because Wesley doesn't really need a lot of things, and we knew he would be getting a lot of love from the grandparents. We kept it simple, and everything was really nice. Wesley had more fun opening gifts than I thought he would. I was pleasantly surprised that he enjoyed opening most of the gifts, and seeing what was inside.

Also, for a long time I have been wanting a craft desk. I do a lot of scrapbooking, but I usually do it on the floor in our office because there is not enough room on our computer desk. I asked my friend, Brad Andersen (check out his blog here: http://sawdustsplinters.blogspot.com/) if he could make me a desk. I told him what I wanted in a desk...plenty of room on top, drawers on the side, and can be moved from room to room in case we ever need to make the office/craft room into another bed room. He drew up some plans, and made me a desk from scratch. The top of the desk even flips up for more storage!! I told him I wanted it green..to match all my craft supplies. Plus, I love green :-) We decided to just stain the top green, so the color wouldn't overwhelm the desk (or the room). It is a very light, subtle green. He did a fantastic job, and it turned out gorgeous! I put some green vinyl on the front to match the green top. I love it! I already bought cute fabric to start making bedding and other things for the baby, so I can't wait to use my new desk for that fun project!! Here are some pictures. Unfortunately the window in the back made for some bad lighting, so I couldn't captured the true essence of the green, but you get the idea! :-)
