A new playhouse at Grammy and Papa's!

Today we headed to Grammy and Papa's to work on the playhouse Grammy got for Christmas. Dan, Jen, and Veronica met us there and we spent the evening together!

Grammy and Papa spent quite a bit of time getting the yard ready for it, ripping out plants, removing grass, and also building a foundation for this super cute playhouse.

Here Amara watches from afar as she sweeps the driveway whole the others access the situation!
The boys level the ground
Once the foundation was down, the kids got to jump!
Dad had put much of this playhouse together on his own in the garage. Dan and Bri took it and attached it to the foundation.
Then Dad sat in his chair and gave instructions to the guys on what parts came next- the playhouse comes in a gazillion little pieces with different screws for each piece.
Daddy and Alaric check out the playhouse
Grammy, V, and Alaric look through the new windows.

The front porch and the roof still need to be installed. Dad is going to work on those and then have the boys over again for assembly.
Alaric takes a break to pee in the yard!
We ordered Jimmy Johns for all 9 of us and had a nice time together. It was a beautiful evening. Here are some flowers from Mom's yard.

I loved playhouses as a kid. My dad built us one too. They will really enjoy this.
