The Cedar Chateau

"It takes hands to build a house, but only hearts can build a home. "-Author Unknown
Grandma Cathy "Grams" thought the girls would enjoy a playhouse and made plans to be Houston for the grand unveiling. She wanted to see the priceless expression on Carys' face when she saw a little home for her and her sister to enjoy for years to come. TJ worked secretly for three days, while the girls were asleep. We did not know the Cedar Chateau from Sam's was going to be so involved with at least a thousand pieces.
Not only did he have hundreds of screws, he also had to predrill their holes so that the boards would not split!
The grand unveiling!
What a face!
The house has a clock.
A sink!

A working doorbell!
Carys' favorite thing about the house, the telephone.
Carys loves to push open the shutters. Such joy.
There are two bay windows on the house, that was part of what took time to assemble the house.
Grams bought Carys some pots and pans and a toaster so she can cook in her little house.
Carys' first visitors, Charlotte and Aunt Jackie!
Auntie Kim also came for a visit, Carys served her "lunch".
The little playhouse has been a great addition to our backyard, providing a place of shade as well as the little kitchen for Carys to enjoy. Ava loves crawling in and out of the door. Many lizards have taken up the playhouse as a cool hiding spot. It has also been the source of jealousy of many grown women saying, I never had that. One thing is for sure, Carys and Ava are very lucky girls. Thank you Grams and Daddy.
