The old saying, "Girls marry men just like their Daddy" is very true for me...Daddy has always worked with his hands, repairing things around our home as well as making things for our home. Glen does the same thing and they are both training our boys to lovingly work with their hands and provide for their future families.
Azaryah received a train set for Christmas so Glen, Daddy, and Corbyn set off last night to build a train table for him ;-)
Corbyn used to watch a lot and help a little, but now he is big enough to actually join in and do the work...Last night, he sanded the table, drilled holes for the screws and did a little sawing. Corbyn did a great job because he has been blessed with two very talented (and handsome) teachers!! heehee
I love this picture because when I took it the flash illuminated all the dust in the air...Now that is a labor of love...Working out in the cold garage with dust flying all over the place ;-) (Don't worry, they LOVED every moment of it!!)
Finished for the night...Azaryah was THRILLED when we took him out to see the train table. The men finished by priming the table and today Daddy will paint the scenery on the table and secure the tracks so Azaryah can PLAY PLAY PLAY!!! Thank you, Lord, for my parents and my hubby ;-)
Pawpaw and Nana BJ gave the girls a weaving set for Christmas. The girls and Nana enjoyed time learning to weave and making memories...I am so thankful that my mother is able to spend time teaching the girls how to work with their hands. Mom made most of our dresses when we were growing up and she also made 2 of my prom dresses. Glen wants our girls to learn to knit and sew so they can care for their future family. What a blessing!!
Mom and Glen LOVE to work puzzles. This year, the kids gave Mom (Nana BJ) a two-sided M&M puzzle. The kiddos gave their Daddy a Murder Mystery Puzzle. It is so cool...First, you read the mystery and learn about the suspects. Next, you work 2 puzzles (all the pieces are mixed together so you don't know what goes with what). Once you have worked both puzzles (they are mirror images of one another but you have to look at them through a mirror), you gain clues through the puzzles and solve the mystery!! Glen is exhausted because he has been up late every night since Christmas working on it and Mom has been right there helping out!! Too fun!!
Yesterday, we had a blast traveling into the big city to eat at a resturaunt that delivers your food by a train. We stood in line for more than 45 minutes just to get in, but it was well worth it. After we got our tummies full, we walked around the unique shops and looked at all the beautiful Christmas decorations.
