Enjoying Our House

 Have I mentioned how much I love the view from my kitchen window?! I can't believe I have such beautiful little roses at the end of November. I love this rose bush!

I added white lights to the inside perimeter of our screened porch this weekend.

Gingerbread House

Ella had a great time today decorating a gingerbread house.

 She started with the gingerbread men and tree while I assembled the house.

Ella gave Emma a gingerbread man to eat. :-)

Happy Thanksgiving!

We walked to the park before our Thanksgiving dinner.

Emma has the "traditional" Thanksgiving cold. At least it's a tradition in our home. She is doing better though. :-)

Playing Pooh Sticks (reference to Winnie-the-Pooh)

 Emma's most favorite thing in the world right now is lollipops. We closely supervise her when she's got one, but it's a treat that she won't be denied without much screaming.

 Daddy ended up carrying both girls home. I'm sure he was quite ready for our dinner by the time we got home!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Emma's Giraffe

 Emma got this giraffe at the North Carolina Zoo on Saturday. She loves it!!! She smiles as soon as she spots it and carries it all around the house.

The Rest of the House is Finished

All the rooms of our house are now finished. The following rooms are all downstairs.

Living Room

Dining Room

Screened Porch

We put an indoor/outdoor carpet over the concrete portion of the screened porch. The girls love playing out there!

Kitchen

I love that the kitchen has dark green counters and linoleum. I've always wanted a hunter green kitchen and my mixer, blender, kettle, and pot holders match this kitchen perfectly.

I love the view from the kitchen window.

This extra space at the end of the kitchen is just perfect for the girls' snack/play table and easel.

Master Bedroom

I'm so glad we decided to buy a bedroom set for our master bedroom. It's made a huge difference in the feel of the room! 

 Our bedroom is my favorite room in the house.
