A big thank you dinner for my parents!

My parents have been more than amazing. I can't begin to thank them enough for the all the help and support they have given us throughout the years. They are the only ones who've been there for us through the ups and downs. 
This past Sunday, I decided to make them a meal in our new home. It was quite a change from me making the big meals for them at their home. 
The menu consisted of: French onion soup, porterhouse steak, baked potatoes w/all the fixings, and cucumber salad. :) 

My happy spoon working on the onions. 

Love our big table that seats 6. And my Mom found this table for me.

Love my new soup bowls. 

What a fantastic meal. 

Love that soup!

What's Yellow, Black, White, and Gray???

Matthew's New Room!!!! 

Thanks to his Daddy for doing all the painting and me for finding the idea off of Pinterest!

The start, painted the white stripes. 


They call me "mellow yellow." That's the name of the yellow paint. lol

Matthew's Daddy is working hard to get his room done!


Starting to come together. 


All done! Matthew's pretty happy! 




Now all we need is some wall decor and Matthew's yellow shag rug should be here any day now. :)
