Hanson Crew

I'm sure you can tell by now, that I am taking a break from my family blog in 2015 for awhile.  I am however, writing a new blog for my sweet mother-in-law Sue Hanson who has began her journey with Stage 4 cancer this year.  Please visit that site for updates on that journey... http://inhishand.net Thanks, The Hanson Crew

We finished up Ashlyn's room this weekend but we weren't sure what to do about the beam/column that runs through her room. We painted the walls a light grey and got rid of her awesome accent wall so she could paint a TARDIS. Since Dr. Who is the main theme of the room, we opted to go with a black beam. Then we found this awesome glitter paint that goes on clear, but tries really cook speckles. Here is the final product...

 Ashlyn is redecorating her bedroom this weekend and has decided to put her art skills to work.  She is going to paint a TARDIS on her bedroom wall from Doctor Who.  Final pics to come...

Found this on clearance at Kirkland's this week for our fireplace.  After an interesting 2014, we thought we could use the reminder going into 2015.  Thankful for His will and His leading this next year!

We welcomed 2015 tonight as a crew!  John woke up feeling a little sick, but we think it was side affects from a shot he just got.  But since the flu is spreading like wild fire here in KC and he felt like he might have symptoms, we had to cancel our New Year's Eve game party.  We were bummed, but a couple of the families that were coming also had sick children, so it worked out for everyone.  The kids enjoyed the countdown show in New York and we plays a board game.  Happy New Year!

I took the boys to IKEA today for free lunch and a tour of the warehouse.  They liked it!  And they kept saying how much it reminded them of Property Brothers!  We love HGTV here!
