Creamer Kitchen Renovation Chronicles - Week 5 is Complete!

Week 5 is complete and we have completed cabinets, paint (light gray), wood countertops and a new table/benches. Everything is coming together nicely. Big shout out to Bill and his team at Out of the Woodwork for the countertops and table/benches. George and I (and the kids) are so excited to see what we will have before Christmas!

Creamer Kitchen Renovation - Accessories

Got our first accessory for our new kitchen. This beautiful cutting board hand made by Bill at Out of the Woodwork in Thomasville. 



I can't wait to see it in use!

So it begins...Creamer Kitchen Renovation Chronicles - Day 1

So it begins...day 1 of the Creamer kitchen renovation. George and I (along with the kids) said goodbye this morning to the kitchen that has served our family well for 14 years. I'm so excited!

Halloween 2017

It's time for Halloween fun at the Creamer household again this year. Megan got her costume earlier on the year for her Gatsby party, and her only addition for Halloween night was the cigarette holder (not kosher for school) and fake cigarettes, which interestingly come in an unnecessary(according to Megan who believes you only need one and maybe a spare) pack of six. Here she was on Saturday night at Raven's party, because it is too dark to get a decent picture now.



Danny decided to be less imaginative and got an uncomfortably hot and hard-to-see-out-of chimp mask to wear. I snapped this picture before he went to a friend's party, and good thing because this was the last hour that he wore it.



Meanwhile, at home, George and I were Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf and handed out candy to the many trick-or-treaters we had this year.



He even ate his beanie weenies with his wolf hands on, partly because once on they were near impossible to remove. We had an awesome time doing very little and loved every minute of it. Can't wait to come up with next year's costumes!

Making a man

Morning yard work becomes a teaching moment. My boy is growing up. 

  

Fathers Day Car Show, an annual tradition

The annual Father's Day Car Show at Celebration was again a success. And as tradition goes, we took pics with our favorite cars from the show. Also, I am so proud of Megan and Danny who both volunteered at the food stand this year. Happy Father's Day, George!

Hydrangea beauty!

My gorgeous hydrangeas are finally in full bloom. 





So beautiful!

A Mother's View

My teens hanging out in Danny's room and talking with Zac. George took this picture, and something about this scene strikes me as so awesome this Mother's Day. 






















I love our home and family.

Spring Gardening Makes Me Happy!

  

It's all about fall, y'all!

Fall in South Georgia, butterflies and cotton fields. Beautiful!

Finally, the Creamer Clan's Christmas Day

It came! It finally came! On the morning of the 26th, we celebrated our Christmas. The kids were so happy, and we all got something we wanted

or needed (yes, that is a car wash kit).

After a morning of presents and pinwheels (our traditional Christmas breakfast), we set out to the movies to watch the third installation of The Hobbit. Because we had enjoyed our traditional Christmas Chinese dinner on Christmas Eve, we went out for pizza after the movie. We relaxed, we had fun, and then we got some good family pictures that night.

It was fantastic! Merry Christmas, everyone.
