The Big Present

So... remember Alyse's big birthday present?
The one that I hinted at, but never told you what it was.....

Well, after Alyse opened up her eyes,

 She found her beautiful doll house.

 She was very excited about it.

She got right to work putting the furniture in the rooms and started playing.

However, if you look at the house, you may notice that it wasn't done.  Poor Josh worked so hard on that house!  I had told him that I thought a doll house would be a perfect gift.  We looked at a bunch of them, but didn't really want a plastic one and didn't want one as big as our house... so it we picked a kit out at Hobby Lobby.  We knew that Josh would have to put it together, but it said "easy essembly" on the box so we didn't think it would be too bad.  However, when Josh opened the box we discovered about 1,000 pieces of unfinshed wood.  Josh had to put it all together, paint it all, etc.  He litterly had to put each and every shingle on the roof.  It took a lot of time, but I think he did a great job!  It turned out beautiful!



And Alyse has loved playing with "her house".

Wow, what an awesome gift! We had a gift like that, a kitchen set that said "easy assembly" like a million pieces later, it was assembled!
