Countdown to Christmas Day 2

So yesterday Paul cut down this tree from our yard and we put it in our living room and decorated it.

It is not anything we would have picked out from a tree farm, but it was free so...yeah. It is SO wide around the bottom and just weird shaped but for free it will do!

Last night some friends and I had dinner at Melrose Grill in Renton. 2 out of the 3 of us had never been before so it was so fun to try something new and it was really good and a cool historical place.

Cheesecake with salted caramel sauce. Yum!

Today we went to church and then watched the Seahawks annihilate the 49ers. I left during the 3rd quarter to run an errand and grocery shop, because I needed to get it done and not wait until the game was over, and since it was obvious they were going to win I didn't care about missing it. I was hoping to wrap a few gifts but had other things to do so maybe tomorrow.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer! 5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago). It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old. I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

Senior Prom

Last Friday was the girls' Senior Prom. A whole group of them met at a nearby park for photos, then they broke off into smaller groups and went to dinner and Prom. Olivia and her group rented an Air B&B for the night, and Kayley spent the night at a friend's house with another friend or two. Olivia and Gavin (just friends) Everyone Just the guys Just the girls Olivia and Kayley

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours. Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over. We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins. I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do. They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white. It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side. I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done. We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains. We're also going to paint. I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
