Moms room- Happy Birthday
Baby Room...BEFORE & AFTER
So my mom's b-day was this last week. Since she watches Brooklyn often, she has been dying to have a place to put Brooklyn down for a nap that was away from loud noise and also a place where she could play on soft carpet. As a surprise gift, my dad took her to Payson overnight while Brad O., Jessica, Mary, my Brad, and I completely cleaned out and remodeled my sisters' room into the "GRANDBABY" room in my mom's house. (Christi and Kelsey get home Tuesday from BYU and are in for a surprise!)
Friday morning we cleaned out, dusted, vacuumed, and dusted the room some more. Then, around 7 that night when everyone was off work, we began the big job...painting the room ! Her sage green chair was our inspiration piece and we thought choclate brown would be a good contrast. So yes...she came home today, totally loving it and totally surprised! YAY! We had fun, but are all tired after staying up til 4:30am in the morning. How the heck do shows like "Trading Places" redo rooms so fast. It took us forever (9 hours), but looks amazing I think! Love you mom! Happy bday!
Cute enough to be in Pottery Barn's magazine?
Grandma's name is Grammers fyi...
Our inpsiration piece.
Brooklyn didn't waste any time pulling off all the books in the book corner. She must like it!
My Parents as a gift to the whole Killian and Stapley Family throw a HUGE tradtional party for all the Uncles and Aunts. This year was fun because we are a couple were invited. We had the best food, we had Morton's roast and all the trimmings. We had some fun and creative gifts that everyone seemed to enjoy unwrapping including Dad's morton Roasts in an icechest
Sunny Mesa Had a Fabulous Enrichment evening based on "BELIEVING" and they did a really cute and fun theme of the Polar Express. The food was yummy and the movies were a highlight of the night. We had a great time and appreciate so many people working so hard for such a wonderful evening. 
MOm had her birthday this past Thursday and we couldnt help but shower her with gifts and a really fun dinner party with teh whole Sunny Mesa Ward. Her amazing married kids help redo a room in the house and transformed it into the most beautiful grandbaby room. We did a sage green and a dark brown with a mixture of Cherry wood funiture. She loves it and now has a place to put Brookie's head. She got some cute clothes and some smelly stuff as well. Happy Birthday Mom! THanks for all you do to make our days perfect! 
We did our tradional gingerbread family night at my Grandma Killian's this year. Brad and Jess Rocked their ginger house, we enjoyed having our martineli's and eating too much candy! 
So Thanksgiving was a huge hit, Moms Blueberry sourcream pie from scratch took second prize at our annual Nichols Thanksgiving dinner. The sisters were super women and no one can throw a party like these gals can. Moms daughters got togther on Wednesday for our traditional pie making but it was not a very successful day. Jess's beautiful pumkin burnt, Carols frist round of pie crust had WAY to much salt, Christi's cream pie didn't solidfy and really I guess we can'e win every time!.
