The Christmas Holiday and the Addition

I know I should update more often so here goes.

 

This Christmas, while the room addition isn’t finished yet, I was able to utilize the extra space and host the Christmas dinner.

 

This is the corner of the room where I set up the snack table and the table with extra dishes and platters.

 

 

You can see the pasture through the windows.

 

This is the table, set and ready for the dinner.

 

 

In the past we’d have to add the extra tables into the family room.  Now we can just have the table going in the other direction and there’s no need to take up the family room space.  You can see that the floors still aren’t finished, that’s our next project.

 

Back to Christmas day….the kids all came early and fixed Christmas breakfast…and yes, our daughter is expecting our first grandchild in January.

 

 

 

This is our daughter and son (his back is to the camera in this) and the son’s girlfriend, Kim.

 

 

Most presents have already been opened.  I think my favorite is that giraffe our son gave me!

 

Here’s a better photo of the giraffe. My son bought it at one of the kiosks in the mall.

The decorations are down now but it was a very nice day and awfully nice to have the extra space.  During the spring and summer months we’ll have a wonderful view out back now with all the extra windows.
