Our big project for the winter break is to get the nursery ready. We figure it will be the only time that we have to get things ready before the baby comes. Our lives just are too hectic. We moved Stephen's office down stairs and opened up the spare room upstairs for the nursery. The biggest project for us was putting in a closet. Stephen wowed me with his carpentry ability. It looks fabulous. Then we (and when I say we I actually mean Stephen) picked our a paint and painted the room. Then he added a chair rail around the room in white. I love it. I can't wait for the furniture to come and to be able to continue the decorating process. It gets us even more excited to have la petite (as my brother Andrew calls her) come to our family.
Final product of Stephen's hard work.
We celebrated our very first Christmas at home this year. It is the first time that either of us has not been home for Christmas since our missions. It took us a little while to get the holiday spirit but we finally did and had a very nice quiet Christmas.
