November was a fun busy month for us.
The first half of the month we went to work on turning the downstairs "office" into a theater room. When we moved in we weren't quite sure what we were going to turn the room into. I know, I still haven't posted pictures, but if you've been able to tour our house at all, you know that we have an upstairs that includes the kids rooms and bathroom, a main floor with everything else, and then a big basement that they partially finished.
Here's the before...Well they did attach the other door before we moved in. That would be where whoever took the picture is standing.
So if you're on our main floor you'd go into this hallway and take the door you see on the left
Head down the stairs to the basement
Take a left and you'll get to our new theater room
Eventually we'd like to change the seating to a theater sectional, but we're doing what we can for now. We have been loving it! Football days, family movie days, date nights. The kids are loving the snack bar and popcorn...and mom and dad are loving the stocked fridge :p
If you know Arya, you know she loves anything to do with art. She's becoming quite the little artist.
Caleb's parents were able to make a trip down to see us. And just like with any guests I sucked at taking pictures. We enjoyed an early Christmas with them, playing cards, yummy dinners, and the kids loved playing outside with them.
Soon after they left, we got to work on Thanksgiving. Caleb, unfortunately, had to work this year, but we made the best of it. I have the best stuffing helpers and Arya even helped on some extra things this year.
Caleb got the Christmas lights hung up to round out the month. Now, I suppose, we should probably get the Christmas tree up.
