A Day Full of Memories!

What a day!! Today was a long day, but full of precious memories and was a great way to get our Christmas break started off right!

The kids at church were singing today, so it gave the girls a great chance to wear their pretty Christmas dresses!

Here is a video of the kids at our church singing "Silent Night". It was just precious and they sounded great! We were all so proud of them. What a special moment for our church.....this was our very first Christmas program for our kids!



I took this picture when they were practicing before the service.

After church, we drove out to our property so that Morgan could ask me where I wanted our house to be. Ha!

You can't really tell, but there's quite a big drop from where the girls are standing, to the water.
There's a huge hill you have to walk down to get to the water, but it's going to be so neat because our house will be at the top and when you're up there, it just looks like you're overlooking the water. You can see how tiny Madison and Kaylee look at the top!
Aunt Barbara would appreciate these pics.......she has a tire swing at her house that the girls love to play on and today they said it was just like Aunt Barbara's house!

You can see in the background, they left behind a metal building. That will be moved and Morgan will use it for all of his tools. Yay....no more tools in the garage! :D There was another little shack that he tore down yesterday and burned.
Lily said she wanted to walk on the "bridge" before we left.
Morgan worked out there yesterday and today. Basically, as soon as he got word the money was funded and the land was ours, he was out there plotting his plan of attack! LOL! He had to pull this huge tree stump up and will have to move the septic system and they had buried a bunch of junk too that he will have to dig up. It seemed like all these things were right where we need our foundation to be! The people who owned this land were using it for a boat restoration business they had.

See how huge that stump was?!

While Morgan worked, the girls and I got ready for our church's kids party. They were having a PJ party and watching the Polar Express too. They ate pizza, had popcorn during the movie, and hot chocolate and cookies afterward.

It was a day full of great memories!!

Hearing the children sing made me smile. So so sweet. Harrison enjoyed it too. :)

So, you have some land where you're going to build a house? I must have missed that. How many acres are there? Looks lovely.

I'm going to catch up here.
Love you.

So fun and your property is awesome. What kind of style of home are you building? Can't wait to see the step by step. Maybe your husband could hire my husband and then we could go into business together making stuff, junk re-do's, lol!! It would be nice. Have a Merry Christmas friend!!
