Busy, Busy, Busy!

Hey blog world! I know it's been a month since the last time I posted. I have been really busy getting the house ready to paint! Yes, paint! I finally talked Andrew into letting me paint the house. So I called my friend Catherine Claire to come over to help me pick out colors. We at first said that we were only going to paint our room and bathroom, living room, and dining room. Once we got started we noticed how bad the rest of the house looked so we decided to paint the whole house!! So, I got busy! I painted our bathroom all by myself but called in help for the rest. Todd, Jake's dad, came over to help me paint our room, living room, and dining room. Then, my dad came over to help the tackle the biggest part of the whole house. We have at least a 25ft ceiling in the entry way. I have say thank you to everyone who helped!! I love the house! It now feels like a home!! Here are before pictures.
I can't get pictures to load. Hopefully one day soon I can get them up.

Christmas was great! Jaylee got a lot of good things this year. Santa also visited Jaylee at my parents house. Jonathan, my brother-in-law, and I had the best time putting together her kitchen set. Everyone made fun of how long it took us to put it together but hey it got done and it was done right!
Andrew got me some camera accessories like extra batteries, external flash, and a tripod! I was so excited!! He hasn't surprised me in a long time!! I was glad to have a surprise this year! I got him an iPhone 4s and an external hard drive for his computer and on the side business.
I even got the sweetest present from Jake! He gave me a new coffee mug that will keep my coffee hot for hours!! I have used it many times!! I gave him a new Thomas the train and bowl and plate set with Thomas on it!! He is just the sweetest and cutest!! He was so excited to get both!!
