A sneak peak.

A few posts ago I made mention of trying to find items in my home/garage that could be put together to make a play kitchen for Téadora's 2nd birthday (which by the way is on Thursday). Well her kitchen is almost finished. God truly blessed us through this adventure. It really came together quite easily. I was prepared with ideas of kitchens that I liked, see this, this and this (made by my friend Brynna and her husband Luke).

So the finished product will not be revealed until Thursday, January 17th, but here is a sneak peak.

We started out with a cheap-o computer desk from WalMart.

It was sitting in our garage taking up space :)

The top was removed.

And then sawed down to a lower height.

Here it is with the top removed and sawed down.

Check back on Thursday to see the rest of the project and the FINISHED PRODUCT!

On another sort of related note: how does your family do birthdays? Do the kids have "parties" every year? Or some years is it just immediate family for cake and ice cream? As your children get older will you change the way you handle birthdays? Will they ever have "friend only" parties? I would love to hear your responses.
