Potluck

Last weekend, we hosted potluck here at our house with Brad & Sonya and Braden & Adrianne. It was great to use our basement for the first official time. Although many of the finishing touches aren't done (and may not be for a while...), I think it was an enjoyable space. We had a great time ~ sure hope everyone else did too!

Our menu:

• Chicken Cordon Bleu
• wild rice dish from DD4
• lettuce salad
• green bean casserole
• baked pears
• bread/butter
• oreo dessert/Maple pumpkin cheesecake
• In the evening, we enjoyed hot wassail/pop and a salty snack mix

Playing the "ACisms" game

After the game, we spent some time fellowshipping. For some reason, Nick and I couldn't talk anyone into playing the Lighthouse game (large dutch blitz...) *sigh*....maybe next time! ;)

Basement Update #4

So...I totally missed updating you all on a whole step! We got the walls mudded and finished and then got busy painting, painting, painting! Whew! Glad that part is over! Nick did a fantastic job painting the doors and trim and Steve did great hanging it all!

This will be the play room! The boys can hardly wait!

Here is the living room - our built in entertainment center/fireplace is coming soon!

Again, the living room..In the back from the corner to the wall will be where the entertainment/fireplace will go...does that make sense?

This is the bedroom...Not much to look at....Just walls!!

AND....Some great news! As I am typing the men from CJ's flooring are here laying carpet! To say I am super-de-duper excited is quite an understatement!

More to come...
