The view from the dining room. Eventually, this wall will be finished off and there will be a ledge between the two rooms in the same quartz as our counters. Chris also got the ceiling painted this weekend. 

Entrance to the kitchen from a little further back so you can see the oven and microwave. 

December 4th: the travertine floors and the appliances are in! Chris did such an amazing job while we were in Savannah. 

Sunday, 11/27, the cabinets went in! They are SO beautiful! We don't have our counters yet, so Chris put the old counters on top of the new cabinets for now. 

Kitchen project update: The popcorn ceiling went up the Saturday after Thanksgiving. It's hard to see it from this angle. 

Katie playing with her new bear, a gift from St. Nick. She loves him already. 

"The end." 

Katie was eating dinner tonight and I noticed how long her hair is getting. Such big blue eyes, too. 

Tyler and Katie in Savannah. 

Momma and Katie. 

One more of our girl with the tree. 

Our Christmas angel. 

Momma and Katie checking out the Christmas tree close up. She was just fascinated by it. 

Tyler took this shot of Katie while they were crawling around on the floor of our hotel room. It's got to be one of the funniest shots I've ever seen! Check out those teeth of hers! 

Tyler attempting a back-flip at the street fair in Savannah. 

Tyler in the taffy factory. You can't tell in this shot, but pieces of taffy kept falling down the metal shute over Tyler's head. It's really cool to watch them make it. 

Katie taking in the view on River Street, Savannah. 

Grama Susan and Tyler sitting on Santa's lap in Savannah. Tyler looks every bit the jaded 13-year-old here, but I think he just thought I was a dork for making him sit on a statue's lap. 

Tyler enjoying a "cold one" at a British pub in Savannah this weekend. Grama Susan and I took the kids up for the day and came back on Sunday. What an adventure! 

She was eating mac-n-cheese and hamburger here and was sooo excited about the noodles and cheese that she kept cramming it in. You can't really fully appreciate the amount of cheese that was on her face in this shot. 

It took every ounce of will power she had to not love the kitty the way she wanted to. She usually comes up with fists full of fur. 

"Oh, Hi Momma. I didn't realize you were watching me!" 

Our curious Kate had to see what was in the box...
