Santa's Little Helpers

Ron & I decided to give each other a bed frame for Christmas. Ron put it together early because we didn't have room to store the boxes until the 25th.The bed was from IKEA so Ron had to assemble the whole thing. Somebody else got really into it too!!
He just loves to do man-things with Dad. These plyers pluged up the screw holes very nicely.
We have this really cool chest of drawers built into the headboard. The drawers slide out sideways.
This is what it looks like all assembled.
I had to go to work before it was all done. We have a few glass figurines in our bedroom including a dog I painted for Ron on one of our first dates & the Salt Lake Temple that was on the top of our wedding cake.
While I was gone, Jett decided the dog made a pretty awesome hammer. It knocked of the temple spires very effectively. I'm sure he was very proud of his new trick. How can you be mad at such a curious & innocent boy? The breaks were really clean, so it can easily be superglued back together.


Happy Thanksgiving!!

Well, here it is... my first ever "all by myself" turkey. The skin was a little dark on top, but it peeled right off. Surprisingly, it wasn't even dry. I had to work Thanksgiving afternoon, so we ate later in the evening. Poor Jett was STARVING!! I gave him some marshmallow/fruit salad before everything was on the table to appease him. Big mistake! He wouldn't eat anything else.

Look how fancy-schmancy we were!
I'm thankful for my boys. They bring me such immeasureable joy & happiness. Who knew life could be so good? I love you two!!!
