Patio Party

This weekend we had a patio party. It was great. All three sets of parents came up - Gma and Gpa H, Mema and Gpa R, and Gaga and PawPaw. We also had Aunt Nae Nae, Uncle B, and Uncle A join us in the fun festivities. We accomplished a lot and are so thankful that we have such great family that was willing to give up a weekend (Mother's Day weekend at that!) to spend time digging around and working hard.

To really see the full effect, I am going to post before/after pictures. The before pictures are from when we bought our house a few years back. Quite a change!

BEFORE
AFTER!
What a difference a few years can make! And some time and love!
Here is the front porch - BEFORE.

AFTER! I love having color!
Back yard BEFORE - BLAH.
BEFORE - yuck and overgrown!
BEFORE - whoa momma!
AFTER! So nice!
After - a beautiful place to sit!
After - the tree looks so nice landscaped!

AFTER. And the backyard is great too!

Now let's see this work in action!
Gearing up with lots of sand!
Lots of pavers......time and patience required.
The finished product...
Admiring their hard work.
The Patio Party Crew!
Uncle A, Paw Paw, Uncle B, Grandpa, Papa, Grandpa R
