You asked for pictures?

Here's Hannah, Nana and Hannah's cake:





It was significantly down-sized from what I was going to do because of the sickies that wrecked our house this last week and this weekend (I got it, too and am still sipping on broth and not wanting to eat anything! Is this a new kind of diet?).

She loved this gift:


And here's our house!
The overgrown front yard...can't wait to take off that security gate and paint my front door red!!! (Again)



My stairs from the front door (oh, the plans I have for you!):

My stairs from the kitchen area...isn't that the coolest thing?

The kitchen (do you hear the angels singing? I do!) White distressed cabinets with a black island...here I come!And OH! The storage!

The family room (which you can see straight from the kitchen...love that!):

But then...there's this:

Do you see it? The big hole for a tv? Um...what???? No thank you. I spent money on a tv armoire for a reason. Do you see the other thing? Look again. Do you see it? Let me assure you that you do NOT! Right? Of course you don't see it...because it's NOT THERE! Rest assured, I have promises and assurances from...well, myself, that the tv hole will be gone and a MANTEL will be present by Christmas time! (Otherwise...where will I hang our stockings?)

Here is the boys' room. See that door that leads to two more doors? That's the jack and jill bathroom for the kids...LOVE IT! (anyone have any suggestions for those mirrored closet doors? I *yuck* them and am willing to live with them all at the same time...but even if they stay...the gold trim has got to go! Can you paint gold trim???)

The master bedroom:

The sliding glass door from the master bedroom walks out onto this:

It obviously needs to be sanded and sealed but hello! It's so cute!
