Last night my kids came over for a spaghetti dinner and some
family time, and of course some fireworks. We bundled all the grandkids up in quilts and they stayed in a van parked in the front yard as it was sooooooooo cold, and the "Daddys" set off the fireworks. It was fun for all, until they set the front yard on fire and found that the water hose had been disconnected. But all is good and my son assured me that you are supposed to burn the dry grass as it will grow back greener.

He is going to build another one in the dining room to keep the rest of the decorations in. I think the idea of carrying all the boxes and heavy tree back to the basement was his inspiration. But once I get the cushions made, I will not only have great storage for 
Christmas decorations, but also extra seating when the whole family gets together. The train table found a new home in my grandson's room - making him and me very happy.
The kids had so much fun playing on the bench last night, its a great play table and is right now coverd in blocks, trains, cars, etc.

Do you have a traditional New Year's Day lunch?
Seems as though your new year is off to a good start with some additional storage. It will be good to have easier access to the Christmas decorations next year.
ReplyDeleteAs to our New Years Day Meal... We have collards, black eye peas and ham. I might even fix cheese grits this year.
Happy New Year to you too! What a great storage area you have now! How great that your hubby is so talented to build it. :o) Now you should make some cushions for it for "soft" seating when company comes. Hehehehehe. :o)
ReplyDeleteI'm jealous! We are still schlepping stuff up and down pull-down attic stairs. It's hard on my old knees!
ReplyDeleteWhat great excitement for your new year, with the fireworks. I love your benches. What a great idea!
ReplyDeleteHAPPY NEW YEAR and heartful wishes to you, Teresa ! ;>)
