New Year's Day {2015}

Construction and football were the highlights of the first day of 2015.  Let's just say the construction went better than the game playing.  Seth built the girl's a new closet for their bedroom!  Yep, just went down to the basement and hammered away.  Then opened the door and said, "sweetheart, can you help me carry this wall up the stairs!"
I was amazed.  



I'm so excited to see Laurel and Savannah's room change.  They have shared a bed for the past 6 years.  And as Laurel put it, "a girl has got to have her own space!"  So they are still sharing a room, but will have their own beds.  I personally think they are going to miss each other. ;) They are always snuggled together when I go into their rooms in the morning.  On either side of the closet, they will have a nook area where their desk will go.

As I was cleaning out their room, I was honestly tearing up at all of the posters they have put around their room.  So, I took pictures, of course, to show them when they are teenagers and maybe not getting along all the time.


I remember when they were making this one.  They heard this saying on a disney show they were watching.  They kept going back and forth, "did they say, sisters by chance, friends by choice?  Or was it the other way around?"  Anyway, I thought it was so sweet that they wanted to copy the saying and hang it in their room.



Laurel has had this beside her bed for over a year now.  Her 2nd grade teacher, Miss Harris told her this all the time when she was struggling with math.
