MOVE THAT BUS!

After months of hard work it's time for the big reveal!

For Ruby's 1st birthday Chris decided he wanted to do something extra special for his little girl and boy did he EVER. Ruby is now the proud owner of her very own playhouse! Construction started in late April and the house is now ready for playtime!

Here are a few photos of the construction process...

We owe a big thank you to ALL of our helpers along the way. Chris was the mastermind behind construction but there were parts of the building process that required extra sets of hands.

This is no joke. ALL of these tools and supplies were in our backyard. At times it seemed as though we were going through a full on remodel..... My patience was tried.

That's all I'll say about that...

Ruby was involved in all "design consultations". She picked out her own flooring....

...and she chose her interior paint! I definitely see a future for her in the design world. :-)

And here it is...... The labor of love.... RUBY'S PLAYHOUSE!!!

"MOVE THAT BUS!!!!"

Isn't it beautiful?!?

This not so little house comes fully equipped with functioning shutters, skylights, a secret crawl space for Ruby and her friends, and toy storage on the side of the house. What more could a girl ask for?!?

Here is the inside - the adorable kitchen, table, and chairs were gifts from Ruby's Aunties for her birthday. Now mommy's job begins - I can't wait to decorate. I have visions of a some fun curtains, a chalkboard wall, more toy storage, hanging some very special art from Auntie Erin, and displaying a keepsake from Great Grandma Ruby.

We'll be sure to take pictures when it's all done.

Now, who wants to come over for a tea party?!?
