Christmas and the New Year

Santa Spent the week before Christmas refurbishing a Barbie Power Wheels electric car.  The results were very satisfactory.  I took some before pictures but not any after – except for the car in use.  Here are some before shots:

I’ll have to get some after shots next time I’m over there.  Santa learned a lot about repairing plastic.

We went over to Jax for Christmas and  stayed through the new year because we had a wedding to go to on the 1st down in Sanford and a play set to build during the week after Christmas.

We had purchased all the hardware for the play set and had it shipped to C&C’s.  Then on the 26th we bought the lumber.  I cut all the lumber on Friday(27th) and we all went to work on Saturday to build it.  We had to dodge some rainy weather  and we finished up on the 30th.  The kids were with Tim while we built it and they came back on the 30th to see it and try it out.

The instructions said the job could be done in 5 hours – that was a standing joke while we spent 4 days building it.

watching the kids play on it made it all worthwhile.

On New Years Day  we went down to Terri and Vinnie’s wedding.  It was held at a stable.  The McClure clan was in attendance and we got to see our friends for the first time in over 2 years.
