The house is going up and the count down till Christmas has begun!

On Friday last week, the garage floor was poured and we were thrilled!  On my Birthday we decided to do a little happy dance there for good luck!

and a little puddle splashing

Gwen was all about playing the little Elf and helping Gram out

Wyatt kept trying to wrap himself up as my present! 

My 30th Birthday consisted of relaxing, having no plans, and getting a manicure and a pedicure---really nice actually.  However, the big party will be next month when Brad and I treat ourselves to a trip to Disney World!!!! 

On Monday they built our floor! 

And all the framing materials for the walls was delivered

On Tuesday they built most of the exterior walls.  The crane wasn't there yet, so all the walls were laying on the ground ready to be put up on Wednesday.

They did get the garage framing up though...

Extra wood apparently makes for great building blocks!

Wednesday--We have something that looks like a house!!!!!!!  All exterior walls went up....

and all the interior walls went up too!!!!!

Wyatt thought this was his new playground!

"I just have to get a better look at that crane!" 

Gwen went into every room and was reminding us what it was!

Thursday was supposed to be the day the roof was added, however we had a great wind storm....that continued thru today.  So, our roof will have to wait until after Christmas, but the plumber and electrician are on call to start as soon as it is up!  Things are moving along, but I don't think we are ready to have Santa deliver any presents at our new house---Gwen is concerned that they might get wet if it rains.  I think Santa might actually be a little relieved that he won't have to make the extra stop this year!  With only 3 more days until his big trip---we can't wait to see what magic he brings!
