A great birthday present!

This weekend, the girls received their birthday present from their Granny and Papa. It came in 5 boxes, had over 1800 parts, and took over 12 hours to put together. Our backyard was turned from a plain yard into an awesome "park" (as Kylee called it) for the girls. They got their very own swingset! It is not only huge and fun for the girls, but it is so beautiful in our yard. I just love it and feel so lucky and blessed to have two people in our lives who love us and our girls so much to go to such effort and buy such a nice gift for the girls. Ever since they brought it over in the boxes, Kylee has been just so anxious for it to be put together. The builders (yes, builders had to be hired to put this enormous toyset together) came over on Saturday morning and spent 7 hours and left with 3/4 of it done. Kylee was just bursting. She kept asking, is it ready yet?
The next day, we went to church and then ran some errands just to keep her busy enough so when we got back home, she would be able to play all day! That is exactly what she did. The men came over at 8:30 and had it built by noon. Boy were the girls excited! They played nonstop from 12-4, took a half hour nap and then went back outside. I think that this is certainly the best gift a kid can get. Kylee said she wants everyone to come and play at her park with her.
Thank you so much, Larry and Joann, for such a wonderful gift that will last forever not only in our yard but in their hearts as well! We love you.
