the last week or so...

Sweet Eva ready for church (a couple of weeks ago!)

my new favorite picture -

Daddy & Eva

the mountains are beautiful when covered in snow!

By last Wednesday most of the snow had melted and we were able to work on getting the leaves up out of the yard. We spent a few hours in the afternoon (before it got dark) getting up all we could since more snow was coming on Friday.

So...the table project I mentioned. We got it to the point we wanted it just in time for Thanksgiving week. Last Sunday afternoon...

By Friday night...

then Saturday...the finished for now project (the plan is to have the top re-stained and the leaf to match by Christmas!)

We are so excited to have the table ready for Thanksgiving week while Granny & Pepaw are here! Lots of extra elbow room - it's great! Thank you Daddy!!

Friday afternoon amid the snow coming down Daddy cleaned the leaves out of the gutters and put up the Christmas lights!

Saturday evening the big girls and I went out to see the lights all finished.

We got about 8in of snow by Friday night. Michael & I got out to shovel the driveway after we got the girls to bed. It sure was nice not having to do it on Saturday morning.

The girls were waiting anxiously for Granny & Pepaw to get here any minute!!
