Of Painting, Christmas preparations and other things!


Keslie and the kids were making snowflakes when Keslie decided to find some patterns online! She found this lovely 3D pattern and her and the kids made lots to make our home more festive!

Ta-da!

Oh, pretty!

Heather, Lydia and Taylor having some fun time at the house.

Mom and some of her girls!


More of her girls! I guess there is just one more in this picture than the last!

Mrs. L brought her daughter to visit with us while we worked and she went and visited with Mom and Heather while they painted! It's more fun to chat while working!

The wood stove was full of this fire flurry after someone put in a piece of wood with paint on it. It was amazing to see!

The pantry is done!!!!!!!


Grandpa and Taylor setting doors! We LOVE our doors! They are so old fashioned!

Grandpa putting in shims, he is so precise and meticulous, we are so thankful for him!

This is our room and the picture is taken when it was still light outside. It brightens in the day and warms in the evening! I love it!

This is our poor pitiful tree. Since we are packing to move by the end of this month we decided we couldn't get a tree. There just wasn't time to get it up and then take it down. Well, the kids were SO sad so they went into our backyard and found this poor little thing! It was so sparse that they had to find extra branches to put behind it to make it even look like a Christmas tree!

But, they decided to look elsewhere. This one was found at the new house and it looks much better gracing our familyroom than the first little tree!

Benjamin had a gift card for a guy store so I was able to take him there the other day and he found this great hat and....

A badge like his brother's!

Looking to future!

Paint buckets! And MOORE paint buckets! LOL!

Last night I went to help Dad lay Hardie board and I was able to see and take pictures of the dining and kitchen painted this lovely gold color.

Looking down the hall that leads to Grandpa's and Grandma's and to the left is part of the kitchen.

The Entry! Mom loved the color so much after painting the mudroom and laundry room that she decided to use it in the entry! The pictures don't really show the exact color, but...



They did it WAY up there! Yikes!


We have three rooms left to paint and then Grandpa and Grandma's house to do! It's getting close! Yippy!

Hi Amber! It looks like things are going GREAT there! I love the "Charlie Brown Christmas Tree!" --the first tree the kids found. The snowflakes are beautiful, too!

It's so fun to see the progress on the house! And the snowflakes are beautiful - is there a chance Keslie could find that site again and email me the link for directions? ;)
