Saturday Night

Last night at our house...

The whole crew stayed late to demo

This guy can't wait to hammer out drywall

Girls were awesome clean-up crew

After the kids were down and John and I were working, we stumbled on this.

I did NOT deal with this. We've concluded it was probably an ancient wasp nest.

Lovely. What else is lurking in our walls?

Birthday and New Year's Eve

Mom was here for her birthday which just

so happens to be New Year's Eve.

We had a very full evening complete with fondue,

the firepit and the usual birthday activities.

"Gypsy girl" is what Grandpa kept calling her.
