The Christmas Lights Go Up & Some House Changes...

We apparently love to have projects going in our house because it is always something. We completely admit that we bring it all on ourselves, but we are once again doing some little improvements to the house. Brad is in the process of building our fireplace surround. He has the structure built as you can see in the picture and also has the electric firplace installed. The next step is getting the built-in cabinets installed on each side and then Brad will finish with putting stone on the structure. We hope to have it finished by Christmas. Also, my sister Shelly and brother-in-law Jason came to visit for the weekend. Jason was gracious enough to paint the kitchen. I have not been in love with the color since we moved in. I am much happier with the new, brighter kitchen. Jason did a great job painting. It was a busy house this weekend with the addition of two more kids running around, but we had a good and productive time.
Brad also worked last Sunday afternoon getting the Christmas lights up on the outside of the house. I watched (frightened on the ground) as he dangled on the roof. Fortunately, there was no injuries and the lights are up and working.
