Last week we went to IKEA to find ourselves a piece of furniture that would work for an entertainment center. We found a buffet called the Stornas (There is an accent there somewhere). today my Dad took me to IKEA so that I could buy it and bring it home. The rest of the day was spent building it.

Luckily Skylanders has been the only thing that Eva has said that she wants for Christmas. For some reason she will not write a list or even say what it is she wants except for Skylanders and a Baby Wanna Walk, to which everyone has replied “You’ve got one of those at home and his name is Andrew”.
