Our BEST Christmas Present!

Whether it was eating, watching movies, playing video games, going to Build-a-Bear, refinishing the dollhouse Papaw made for me over 33 years ago, being silly, wearing new pj's from Mamaw and Papaw, showing off bike riding with no training wheels, reading books, walking across the bridge over the lake, driving around Dallas, watching football, and more......We had the best time having Mamaw and Papaw Rohm show up on Christmas Day to spend a week with us! We had a very good time. I'm sure the grandparents are pooped, but I think they had a good time, too! For those who remember the dollhouse, Papaw made it for me when I was young. It was beautiful in its time, but after years being in attics, carted from state to state, being a little bit out of date in its decor, etc., the grandparents decided they wanted to give it a makeover, so the granddaughters could enjoy it. It became much more of a project than anticipated, but with a little leftover project paint, MUCH sanding, ripping out of carpets and wallpapers, gluing on missing pieces, and more, the house is BEAUTIFUL! Much nicer to us than any dollhouse you can take out a second mortgage to buy in the Pottery Barn catalog. :) Some of the furniture needs to be replaced, but many of the pieces were so well made by the very famously talented Uncle Bill many moons ago. He would be proud that we were able to salvage most of it and do a little reupholstering. Looks good as new. Thanks! Many memories were had this Christmastime. We are so thankful for our family!
