Easter Sunday was a big day in many ways. We finally got to start building Sequoia's playhouse. We bought this for her at Christmas, but then immediately got hit with a blizzard, and then another blizzard, and then rain ...and before you knew it, we were able to call it her birthday present too. And then for good measure we thought it could also act as her Easter present.
Sequoia is a really hard worker and a great helper as you can see in these photos. I am not kidding. she watches what you are doing and makes the connection about what should happen next. I have worked with many adults who were not nearly as productive or helpful....
So between playing with all the fun stuff the Easter Bunny brought her, and leaving for Easter dinner with Grandmom, Gena and her boys, we started assembling the 6,347 small bits that make up a little girls first house.
We did not quite finish, but the house had windows,a roof and a chimney by the time we had to pack up and head out to dinner. Sequoia is ecstatic about her new place. It will eventually have a front door, a lunch counter, two little Adirondack chairs and a bench to round it all out. I love watching her play in it and can't wait to build a larger version that we can all stay in.

Grandmom says: " WOW! this has really got to be exciting for the whole family...I've seen that house in its box for a long time but had no idea how swell it would turn out to be! I can't wait to see her in it....I bet she loves to show it off! What a beautiful house for anyone, let alone a little girl....Imagine her having a house of her own!
