Claude and Sallie came over on Christmas Eve day. We had our family Christmas dinner and then went to Christmas Eve service at our church, the Wilmore Free Methodist Church.
Sallie enjoyed holding baby T.
We started our Christmas day with reading the Christmas Story. We need to be reminded of why we give gifts at Christmas time.
We opened gifts.
And decorated gingerbread houses
And did crafts, this one called Perler beads. We put these plastic beads on a form and then heated them with an iron to make Christmas ornaments. One pink kitty on the table is an example.
J and K had a wonderful time playing together. We had mild weather, so the kids were able to play outside and play in our house.
They have partially built the hallway that will connect our main floor to the upstairs of the kids' house. They won't make the final cut through until the new house is heated.
In the meantime, though, you can go through the mini door where they put stuff to store in the eave/attic. The kids can go through that door and into the new house.
Jackie really enjoyed time with baby T.
We had a lot of work on the house in the past couple weeks. Lots of tradesmen's trucks.
We passed inspection for HVAC, Electrical and Plumbing.
The first step of the insulation was done. We did a thin layer of spray foam insulation and then will use fiberglass bats which will give us a value of R38 in the attic and R26 in the walls. The foam will act as the vapor barrier.
I've been choosing paint colors. That's a scary time for me because we will not easily re-paint.
Well, that's what's been happening here in the Bluegrass.
