When I say "just in time" I really mean just in the knick of time! We literally finished decorating the tree Christmas eve morning. Bob was running to Wenatchee picking up our furniture and some other odds and ends that morning. We had Bob's two employees (plus Kyle) here all day as well finishing up trim around the windows, putting in two of our new doors and they helped bring the furniture in and assemble it that afternoon! Whew!
Tree is leaning a little to the left, oh well!
my pictures didn't turn out very clear but I think you can get the over-all idea of the space
This is our new living area, just missing the big screen! Bob said we are too broke now for him to afford one. We'll see...
New dining room table all ready for dinner. You can't see them very well but I got new dishes (Christmas dishes). I have always wanted Christmas dishes and I decided this was the year!
Finishing last minute dinner preparations, Mia is standing by waiting for any small scraps to come her way!
the girls, aren't they beautiful! Joslin joined us again this year. Katie has a big heart and it made her sad that her family wasn't really doing anything. We scrambled around and got a few gifts for her as well.
Bob carving the delicious prime rib roast. It was sooooo good. I will make a long story short and just say that with all the craziness around here I had forgot to take out the $100 prime rib roast I had bought at Costco the week before from the freezer. We discovered this at 3pm Christmas Eve! Bob said God was shining on me because he ran to Brewster and found a nice prime rib roast at the small grocery store there (even on sale)! So dinner was saved and we didn't have to have hamburgers.
Christmas means family pictures in front of the tree... can hardly wait till we have our missionary back home next year! We got to talk for over two hours Christmas morning. I think he was a little homesick but overall doing really good! He is really enjoying his current companion and area.
a good looking Toolson family...
everyone getting comfy for the evening after dinner
playing games...
pj time!
