Oh, and cabinets too!

Our cabinets came today. They unpacked them, but haven't set them yet. I was giddy with anticipation, so I already started taking pictures. Here is our bathroom.

And Kaylee's bathroom.

Our kitchen island, with a hole for where the dishwasher will be.

One side of the kitchen, with an opening for the stove.
The other side of the kitchen, with the above cabinets where the fridge will be.

And my laundry room.

No matter what you say, I love my cabinets. Even more when they finish them. Sigh.

Merry to Christmas to all, and to all good luck cleaning up Christmas. . .

Here is the pile 'o snow that we had in our driveway. This is after it has melted for the past few days.


Here are the small glass tile that Clayton laid in our shower.

Here are the tile on our bathroom floor.

The tile that Clayton's brother, Bill laid in Kaylee's shower.

The entry from the garage and the kitchen in its tiled and grouted perfection.


Our Merry Christmas tree and our family room with a new fan and working lights.

Our entry and front door with the cool pattern that Clayton made up.


The dining room and light fixture.

Kaylee with her cousins in front of the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve.

Here is Kaylee opening up her gifts with Clayton's family.

Hope you enjoy.

Pass the Scrunchy-Face Smiles around

I will leave an addendum to the previous post. Clayton is a great first-time builder, but we had high expectations of him tiling our entire house in his spare time in just a few weeks. So, we are on a more realistic time schedule and will hopefully be done the 2nd week of January. I decided to post some pictures of Kaylee. We were at Lonestar Steakhouse for the Full/Ton Masonry Christmas party. And this is her new thing the past few weeks. When she really smiles, it is a scrunchy-face smile, as we call it. So, here are some scrunchy faces smiles for you.

P.S. And a picture of Kaylee eating steak. She is actually starting to get an appetite.

We get a step closer each day, but not close enough. It looks like Clayton isn't a good enough builder because he won't have it done for his family by Christmas, but we will be in soon enough.

A Christmas Miracle

On Friday we went to Scoffield to cut down Christmas trees with Clayton's family. It was a lot of fun, we just wished there would have been more snow. The one on top of my truck was about 22 feet long, that was for Clayton's dad.
