Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas!!! Yes, the boys got the swingset done. Thanks to everybody that helped out. It was quite a project and somewhat stressful with the impending deadline, but Matthew loved it. I'm sure it will get quite a bit of use!


Of course, Santa was not such a big hit......


But the toys sure were!

Swingset Update

Matthew is getting a swingset/fort for Christmas. We've had so much going on lately, it's come down to the weekend before Christmas to start assembling the set. As if the holidays weren't stressful enough already.

Here's what Five Days 'til Christmas looks like.....

The guys have put in a lot of hours to get it ready.

Four days to go......

And it's time to Raise the Roof!!!!......

Don't know how much each side weighs, but there sure are some funny faces being made when they lift it.

Well, here we are Monday morning. It's DANG COLD outside, Don has the crud and still a good bit left to build. Looks like Christmas Eve is gonna be an all-nighter!! Wish us luck!

Holidays 2008

Thanksgiving was a great time. Matthew rode his tractor all over the yard and even entertained us by wearing his dirt bike helmet. The weather was awesome!

Once the turkeys were all fried up, we loaded up on the big tractor and headed down to MiMi and Grandpa's house for all the fixings. Matthew's a good driver!!

Our next task was getting our Christmas tree for this year. I think Matthew is wondering why in the heck we cut down a perfectly good tree.

And this is the final product. It looks really pretty at night with all the lights lit up. Hopefully Santa will bring some gifts to put under it!
