Visit from Mom and Dad/New building edition

walls and rafters added

cheesy cheesesticks!!

coconut pie with  ungodly amounts of meringue

roof and shingles

We were off of school on Martin Luther King, Jr day, so Mom and Dad came down for a visit.  We ended up going to Patti's for lunch--yummy!  We all had great food but Dad had the signature 2 inch porkchop and then we shared a piece of coconut pie.  Andrew had one of BJ's cheese sticks which he just loved!  Thanks for coming down and visiting.  The boys love to play games with Grandma.  As for the new edition, it's coming along nicely.  Here are pictures of the building with walls and rafters, then on Wednesday they had it roofed and shingled and some wrapping done.  We are awaiting windows, then they have to build steps for the upper level.  We're getting there.....

Can't wait to use this at one of our parties!

On New Year's eve we went to the Peterson's house and made cajun stuff for supper.  We exchanged our Christmas presents that night and their neighbors came over later.  Kids had a great time tearing up the downstairs and playing Wii games and they even played laser tag outside b/c it was such a nice winter evening! Thanks for ringing in the New Year with us--we love you guys!

Playing with toys and stuff

we love our ping pong table!

Just a few pictures playing with Christmas stuff.  The ping pong table is fun!  One night we used this gel stuff and made worms.  This was in Adam's stocking.
