Swingset

Christmas came early for Tatum and Camdyn this year.  Our lucky little girls got their Christmas present from Gramma and Grampa this week!!  Gramma and Grampa got the girls a huge playset for our backyard. Tatum was sooo excited when it got here.  She said, "Look Mom, my very own playground!!"  It was adorable!!

The swingset was delivered on a huge pallet and weighed something like 700 pounds.  Gramma and Grampa also got cousins Holden and Ellie the same play set and my brother, Dad and his father in law had put it together a few weeks before so we knew what we were getting into.  And it was good to have tips from them since they knew what parts were tricky. 

Friday night Matt, Kehoe and Aunt Emma got started!!  It was a big task just getting all of the parts out of boxes and organized.  They worked on it for about 4 hours that night and were at it until 1:30 in the morning.  I had taken the girls to bed and kept looking out our window to see how it was going and each time I looked the 3 of them looked like they were laughing and having a great time!!

Saturday morning they were back out there to finish it!!  This time it was Matt, Kehoe, Uncle Adam and Papa Butch.  They worked on it for about 5 or so hours and got it together without too much trouble.
