Time to post new pictures of our finished construction and some of Christmas.
The front of our home with the new shop.

This is the view from the Church parking lot. I can't get the whole back of the house from the back yard.

Inside of the work shop. In the process of installing the vacuumn system.
Another view of the worker busy at work.

Ashley, Dad has a sympathy boot like you have had in the past. He says it works quite well.

It doesn't stop him from working and enjoying his vacation days.
Jenn loves her new boots she got for Christmas. Here is one way to wear them.

Here is the other way to wear them.

Dad got a chair for the shop when he needs to take a rest or do some serious thinking. He also got a door mat for the outside of the shop and one for the inside. The kids gave him a clock for the shop that never has to have the time changed. It changes by itself.

Kaitlyn got a puppy with a bag/purse to carry it in and a necklace and bracelets.

Halle got a glo-friend but mom is playing with it now so you can't see it.

Gracie, Arianna and Chrissy got snow pants. They really like to go sledding in the winter. Chrissy didn't want to be in the picture and Arianna didn't want her face in the picture.

Timmy also got snow pants this year.

Derek got a mommy and baby elephant. The mommy elephant sings a song to her baby if you twist her ear. The legs and truck also move. Quite a cute toy.

Derek loves to play with Sammy's Christmas gift.

Sammy got Hulk Smash Hands. They talk when you hit something. Pretty funny. Sammy has his mad face on.

The married kids wanted money again this year for their gift. I put rolled up bills inside of straws. Kimberly tried to blow the money out of the straw. No matter how hard she blew, it wouldn't come out.
Thanks for the perfume you all gave me and the clock and gift card for dad. Thanks for visiting us on Christmas. We missed Xan and Ashley this year. We got to see their Christmas on their blog which was great. We saw Michael, Jessica and the boys on the web cam this morning. Great fun!!! We love you all.

First, you never know when you will need to wear the boot again. Hard lesson I learned. :)
Second, what will the garage look like with all the tools out? That is a good future picture I am curious to see.
Third, those are awesome boots and hulk gloves. I want both!
Fourth, I'm really glad we got our money deposited in the bank so we didn't have to blow the money out of a straw. LOL

Those are great photos! Keep them coming. Love you!
