Housewarming Party

This week we moved into our new home!!! It was great because we had settled on the house on 04/20/11 and rented back to the previous owner until 05/24/11. It was weird going through the whole settlement process and then not moving but allowed us a little time to relax before we had to face the big move. After a year of having most of our stuff in storage it was pretty easy to forget about how much stuff we actually had so when the big moving day arrived we were pretty overwhelmed with all of our stuff. We hired great movers called Dawn ProMovers. They were amazing!!! They showed up 20 minutes early and got right to work. It was a huge help having movers handle all the big furniture and the heavy boxes. They worked all day long too and when they left all of our furniture had been moved and was in its place however there were boxes covering our living room and everything had yet to be unpacked. Over the next couple of days we worked tirelessly to get everything unpacked and all the dishes/clothes washed and put away. Although it was intense and crazy stressful we made it and pretty much had everything ready for the BBQ.


Here is our new house with the sold sign out front. I took this picture on the day of our settlement back in april. I was really glad I did too because the sold sign was gone shortly after. We decided it would be a great idea to host a BBQ for all of our family and friends to celebrate the new place with us and to get to thank everyone for making the new house happen for us. Wyatt was such a great little host and was having a blast hanging out with everybody! Grandma made goodie bags filled with cool stuff for Wyatt and William. These glasses were in their goody bags. Here is our little Groucho Wyatt:

And Groucho William

Stan and his Daddy did the grilling. Here they are on our deck with our new grill. It was the perfect day for the BBQ and the food was awesome!

Aunt Carol, Cousin Katie, and Pappy enjoying some food out on the deck:

William (who I am hoping just loves Glee and does not think I am a loser-LOL) sitting at Wyatt's little table and chairs.

Everyone lined up to get some eats. There was a ton of food for everyone.

Our dining room/living room area and everyone enjoying their bites to eat.

Wyatt and William engaging in some fascinating conversation.

Mommy, Daddy, Wy-wy (who was a little fussy because everyone had gone home and he was one tired little host), and Sugar resting and enjoying our home after the successful party.

Wyatt and Pappy playing with the welcome home balloons.

Mommy and Daddy cleaning up the kitchen following the party.

And a very partied out Wyatt (this was around 7:30 or so) heading to bed in his very own room.

As we start to develop the rooms more we will post some more so people can see what we do and how things really start to take shape.
