Long overdue.....

So December and most of January has been a whirlwind in the Sadler household, not that I know why! We broke down this year and bought a fake tree.  We decided that we have a nice start to a forest in our front yard from all the trees we buy and plant each year!  Olivia was more interested in the box than the tree at first...but then she got interested in the tree.  Here are some pics.

Checking out the box

 Trying to get the tree to play ball with her!

 We also spent the first part of December having a wood stove installed in the living room and then we had problems with it leaking in the roof!  We had to have the installers come back 2 times to get it fixed!  And in the time that it was leaking, Seattle had some of the most rain it ever has! No fun.  But the wood stove looks great!

 After the floors and the wood stove, I think we're done with home improvements for awhile!
