An earily Christmas Surprise!

Ok so this is the kitchen that our girls have been playing with. Pretty sad huh? We found it sitting next to the dumpster in our apartment complex so we grabbed it and cleaned it up and the girls were happy to have it. We had been hoping to get the girls a much nicer kitchen for Christmas, when Grandpa Ken and Grandma Lana surprised us with this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ken and Lana made (yes, that's right,...I said made) this beautiful wooden kitchen by hand, out of an old entertainment center. It took weeks and weeks and then Grandpa Ken took the time to throw it in his truck and drive all the way from St. George, Utah and bring it for the girls. I wish we had taken pictures of the looks on their faces. Natalie and Delaney immediately dove into this kitchen. And Natalie (such a little hourder) said over and over "Laney need to go night night. I wanna play my kitchen!" Ha Ha! She never wants to share.

So, as you can see, there was  A LOT of work that went into creating this kitchen. It was a dishwasher, an oven, stovetop, fridge, freezer and all the nobs turn and it even has a picture looking "outside", to appear as a window. It's all topped off with a super sweet valance and the girls and Michael and I could not feel more loved or more greatful!



Looking at the 2 kitchens side by side. I am so greatful for all of the hard work that was put into making this kitchen and the joy that it brings to my heart to watch all 3 girls as they play together! When big sisters Natalie and Delaney are at school all day, Kherrington loves to play in the kitchen too! We donated the other kitchen to another family at Natalie's school and they were pleased to have it as well!

Thank you Grandma Lana and Grandpa Ken for our new kitchen! We love it!
