Mommy and Daddy gave the girls their "big birthday" gift Sunday night. This was the only chance Daddy had to work on it before Tuesday so we had the housewarming a little early.
During construction, the girls watched anxiously from the living room. Emma said Daddy was building a big birdhouse.
The house has two living areas, distinguished by the different flooring. The living room has a wood floor while the kitchen (above) has stone.
This little picture reminds me of the scene in Wizard of Oz when Dorothy is welcomed to Munchkinland and all the little people all open their shutters and sing to her. Or maybe I've ridden the Great Movie Ride one to many times!

Happy Birthday Emma and Sara!!!!!
MOM & PAPA LOVED ARE IMAGINING WE ARE PLAYING IN THE HOUSE, ALSO! IT IS A MARVELOUS GIFT AND THE GREATEST BOX EVER SEEN. CAN'T WAIT FOR THE BI-G-G- PARTY LOVE TO ALL
what?! you only spent two hours researching the perfect cottage?! i'm impressed! i think i spent at least 10 researching the perfect fort for ethan last christmas.... and he loved the box too. i think 1 1/2 years later, he has yet to spend as much time in the fort as he spent in that box. we kept it inside for a while for his enjoyment (i was very pregnant... and desperate for entertainment for him!! ha!)
happy birthday girls! what a blessing you will be to each other as you grow older and have the unique fun of sharing a birthday with your sister!!!
