christmas continues

On christmas day we eat alot and we have think alot with the Kirk treasure hunt ..

the hunt went from noon something till seven something ..

man there were some tuff ones this year !!

for example one of the clues was ..

#13

36th President.

can only hold his breath for a brief time

so spends more of his time out of it than in it.

four decades of horses

the answer Lyndon B. Johnson & 4o horses

It ended up being our boat...

our Johnson 40 horse power engine

which spends more time out of water than in the water haha !

We also enjoyed a lil gift giving to as well I gave the in laws a much wanted wedding photo sorry it took so long .. we also got some sweet $$ bucks from SANTA thanks big man

we made it

Yeah so I was watching the Nate Burkus show and he was showing

these cool ways to use old doors

well since the budget it tight ...

I took his idea and made a coffee table out of a door we found in the basement

of my in laws they have tons of cool old things I love it ...

I also found sweet windows and window panes

It turned out awesome the pictures don't do it justice !!

oh by the way

We moved yet again .. from the ma&pa's to 4 houses down to 12040 Lisbon Road ..

and we are making some needed repairs and updates to this old place

this home was the original Greenford Post Office back in the day

Its so fun living in such a old historic home ..it has lots of character ! We have alot of plans for this place but it'll take time for sure so i'll keep posting

the progress but these are some things we've done so far ..

We had to strip the paint off of the upstairs bathroom tub ..

it was a perfectly white porcelin tub underneath !!

why the paint ? who knows..

and we have just about totally gutted the downstairs bathroom / laundry room. Matt put in a whole new ceiling and lighting soon he will tile the shower and paint the entire space then I'll be able to do my things to it ... oo boy how exciting !!

much joy to be had

lizzy was a good dog this year ..

Taylor & Skylar gave her gift

in a stocking my mom sent .. she loved it !

Matt wrapped up our surround sound and

TV wires as a gift to go with the new Television

he's so goofy !!
I got him warm.. wigwam socks
( no more cold feet ya hear me!)

The gathering at Grandmothers is always a treat

I searched high&low .. and found a new T.V. in one of the yucky rooms

that needs some attention

Matt knowing I don't ever go in there hid it in the closet ..
such a sweet suprise!

up with the tree

still in the process of decorating the christmas tree but here it is so far ...

thank you Ka for the decorations.. I'll post the final result another day

stay tuned !

much thanks..

We had a delightful Thanksgiving at our cousin Christy's home in Columbus

Matthew was elated when he saw his sweet cousin

Emma from Nashville .. whom he hadn't seen in way too many years !!

How grateful we are to be closer to Matt's family

It had been a long time since he was able to spend a Thanksgiving with them ..

Truely the company & food was divine !!
