Merry Christmas Eve!!

Well, here it is.  The annual PJ picture for you all to view.  This is a tradition in our family that was passed down from Grandma Shirley who always made pajamas for her children.  Bryon told me it was one of his favorite Christmas Traditions growing up.

My Cabinets!!

My Cabinets are here, My cabinets are here.  They are so beautiful.
The craftsmanship is excellent.  It makes the place look like a home.  I can't wait to start cooking and baking and having a fire and doing crafts.  Here are some pictures.

 Kitchen

 Family Room.  I wish you could see the mantle.  It is beatiful.  I will get a closer picture next time.

 More Kitchen but with cute Josh in the mix

 Master bath

 Staircase.  The spindles are going to be iron

 This is a resource/study/craft area right off the kitchen.  This is the area I designed for me and the kids

 Josh with his pretzel.  He wanted me to take a picture.

A Snowman in the Apartment?!?

Yes, even in a temporary apartment you can have Christmas.  I love Christmas!  It is the time of giving and magic and miracles.  So we did decorate and we have both a tree and a snowman in our apartment. Take a look at the pictures below.

Amanda's Princess Breakfast

At Maple Grove Senior High, there is a fundraiser for the choirs and it is a Disney Character breakfast. The choir members sell tickets and then they dress up as Disney Characthers and the parents help serve a breakfast to the guests.  The kids get an autograph book and can go to all of the characters they want to get signatures.  It was a really fun event and I think the high school kids had as much fun as the little kids.  Josh thought it was great.
The costumes were very inventive.  I wish I had gotten pictures but I was in the kitchen.  Bryon did get one of Amanda and him.  She is Rapuzel.

More pictures of the house

I realized it has been a long time since I last updated.  In that time we have had alot happen to the house.  Most of it is inside though.  Although we did add a front porch which I love.
