O Christmas Tree

Friday Steve and I went out for breakfast after dropping the girls off at the schools. First we stopped at the house. (We decided that we can't say "we are stopping at the lot" anymore, because it is actually looking like a house.)

This the center view of the trusses over the great room.

The boards inside were slippery w/ ice, but this weekend should take care of that. This is a view of the back. Our bath is covered. I'm ready for the tub!

The girls and I stopped after church, and it was very muddy. I wish the temperature could be like this during the week when the guys are working. They have been working on the roof of the garage.

This is a view looking up from my bathroom. Not much daylight showing anymore. It was actually kind of dark in there. It is fun to hear the girls talk about their rooms. How exciting for them to see how it happens.

Before we left, I lifted the very heavy board over the basement hole, and there were stairs. I restrained myself from going down. I don't know how long I can hold off. Maybe I'll go over when Dan is there and see if I can go down. I just want to see how big the basement is.

This week I need to call and order the garage door. I was going to do it last Thurs., so it would arrive 12/29, but I wanted to make sure Steve and I are in agreement on the garage door windows. If I order before Thurs. the door will be in 01/05. Dan said this was fine.

We finally put up a tree on Saturday. Steve went and got it Friday, and it is kind of a Charlie Brown tree. Once you get all the ornaments on, you can't even see the holes.

The girls look so pretty. I'm finishing up cards, so I needed a pic to stuff in the last of them. Thank goodness for our photo printer, so I don't have to order more at Target.

Keep your fingers crossed for us this week. We need a good weather week to get the roof finished.
