A Big Boy Bed

Brian, Camden and I trekked across town to Ikea to pick out some furniture for Camden's new big boy room. We have visited what seems like countless furniture stores looking for just the right bed with out having spending a small fortune. Camden wanted a bunk bed.

All in all the frustration was worth it because
Camden LOVES his new bed!
(which he won't actually sleep in until we finish the rest of his room)
