House Update

Like I said in my last post, we have been in our house 7 months. Our house. OUR HOUSE. I can't even tell you how much I love and am beyond grateful that we found this house.

We updated Ds bed (he had a low to the ground twin size bed-it was the perfect transition bed). Anyways, there is a little bedroom furniture place that is going out of business and having a huge sale, so we went and bought a few things. Including a real bed/head board.

Tonight is night 1, we'll see how it goes. Side note, I don't like stuffed animals. I think they are germ hugging things. Haha. However, D has a plethra (all that is pictured + maybe 10 more). Although, E brought him the Spiderman when he had his tonsils out. Precious. 

For the last 13.5 months, E has been sharing a dresser with D. It was fine at first, but the bigger both of them get, the harder it has gotten. So, we bought her a dresser as well. 

Notice that cute lamp? We got it for F-R-E-E! It was originally 80+ dollars. Hemming Village was going to be doing a sale for a company in the complex that went out of business, but M had been doing maintenance work there, and the lady just gave it to us. Sweet!

It is also nice to have a whole room dedicated to the toys. This is what the room was before (an office): 

And this is what we did with it, 

It is so great to have space, though we plan to add on to the house in the next couple years.

We went for Tithing Settlement on Sunday (if you want to learn more, go to lds.org.) Our Bishop asked  how things were going, etc. He asked if we had a tree. We didn't. We had been planning on getting one that week. He then offered us a tree that another member of the Bishopric had. 

We have vaulted ceilings in the living and kitchen rooms. The tree is so tall, but fits just perfectly. 

Tall. M had to trim it just a little so we could fit the star on top. D helped M decorate it. 

While Coco checked out the tree. 

The kids and C have been having a fun time with tree. 

      

 It's amazing what the tree did. Made it really feel like Christmas. 

(and for the record, there are 5 stockings. My MIL is coming for Christmas. That is all :-))

Hope everyone is having a fabulous week and is getting in the Christmas spirit.
