A Busy December

I know, it has been forever since I have last posted... but finally an update! The weekend before Christmas we were VERY busy tiling our house. We did our kitchen, the entry way, the laundry room, and 3 bathrooms. We didn't think that it would be too big of a task but boy were we wrong! There were a few long days and late nights but we finally got it done! We started on Friday and got done Monday night. We were so lucky to have family that were willing to come down and help us. We couldn't have done it without them! My Mom and Dad came down and helped us all day Saturday and Nathan's Dad came and stayed the whole time. We really appreciate them! Here we are tiling the kitchen...

And here it is before we grouted it. Conner is taking a nap in his pack and play and he was the best little boy! We loaded him up with lots and lots of toys and put him where he could see us and he was so good and so I was able to help the whole time.


Nathan's Dad did a great job cutting the tile for the upstairs bathroom. I chose to lay the tile on the diagnal and Nathan wasn't too happy because he said that we would have been done a couple of hours earlier if I hadn't...but it looks great doesn't it?

The next weekend we went up to Island Park to spend Christmas at our cabin. We had to snowmobile in and I thought that Conner would be really scared but he just fell asleep. Here he is all bundled up and not feeling too happy about it.
Here is Conner and Kynzee Christmas morning in their Christmas jammies.

Conner is checking out what "Santa" left him in his stocking.
Before Christmas he kept trying to open the presents and he got one all the way unwrapped but on Christmas he got bored after opening the first one.

We had lots of fun and we all got really spoiled. Conner now has a very full wardrobe and lots and lots of toys!

Hey girl!!! yes, we did our tile on a diagonal in the bathroom too, and it looks awesome! Horray for papa G helping out!! He is the man.
Your house is going to look so beautiful! Can't wait to see pics once you guys are all moved in... it looks so big! I'm kinda jealous because I feel like we're starting to overflow in this little house :)
