Just so you can get the full effect....

Before and After photos of our stairs....

Still need to decorate a little and finish up a little painting/staining/clear-coating but we are absolutely delighted with the changes!

Handsome Robertsons and our tree

Henry invited Lance and I to his "Winterfest" which is a holiday tradition for the SES 4th grade. We were asked to dress up in our fancy clothes and we enjoyed a delicious lunch in his classroom. It was lovely afternoon!

I'm sure I'll post more but here is a good picture of our tree!

Christmas 2009

Here are some good Christmas photos.

The first two were taken at our neighbor's holiday open house.

And this one was taken at our realtor's office Christmas party. Sadie loved being invited to the party and celebrating Christmas with Mr. and Mrs. Claus. You can see she was channeling "Max" from the Grinch with her adorable antlers. She wore them around the party some too!
