The King Size Bed...

There is something about our bed that Ellie has always loved. I just can't explain it. But lately, especially, she has begged to play on our bed in the evenings before bed. This has led to some pretty fun family times of "tickles and tackles". It basically consists of rolling around all over the bed (with all 4 of us on it - though we have to protect Victoria a bit), then tickling each other until we are all laughing, and then playfully tackling each other. It sounds completely ridiculous, but I have to say, it has been some of the most fun evenings we've ever had! Ellie's giggles are so extreme that we've had to enforce breaks throughout the fun to calm her down so she doesn't make herself sick. Toria is a bit too little to join in the tackling part of the fun, but she has had her share of smiles on the bed as well. But her favorite thing to do - snuggle into mommy's pillow!
