Fresh Paint





We have finally finished our little bathroom project! Big Daddy spent days trying to fix the ceiling (we had seams coming through), he finally got it almost perfect. We love our paint color choice (a shade lighter then our old NY dining room, my favorite room in that house!), and look forward to finding new towels and mats as well as some wall decor.
My mom arrives tomorrow! And then we are off to the South on Friday!! Praying for temperatures in the 60's with maybe a few bonus 70's!
Merry Christmas to all!

Busy Season has begun......






















It has been a crazy, busy few weeks!

Our new counter tops were installed, and we love them! We finally decided on tile (natural stone and glass tiles) backsplash and have ordered them. We are hoping they will be here before we leave for Florida so we can get the kitchen done and back in order.
D visited Santa and let him know that she wanted an American Girls doll (she actually said she wanted two, but one of them was for her friend Maddie). Thankfully this present is bought and will be headed to Florida in Santa Grandpa's van.

I spent last Thursday in D's class helping with gingerbread houses, it was a lot of fun! She has a great class and wonderful teachers. The kids all get along really well.

Since we couldn't work on the backsplash this weekend, Nathan got our ceiling painted in our bathroom and the holes filled and sanded on the walls so we can get that painted this week.

We were hit with a snowstorm on Sunday.....not sure of the totals, but enough to cancel school today. D and I played outside for awhile yesterday, building a snowman and sledding down our side yard. It was a lot of fun, but now we are both feeling icky today.
