We stayed in Flippin for a couple of days after Christmas. The kids loved getting to spend more time with their cousins. Back in October, my Dad and Rhett started a construction project in the field near the house. Dad continued to work on it throughout the fall, and he had this awesome treehouse completed for the kids by Christmas. (He can build anything!) It sits perfectly between the five trunks of a huge sycamore tree. It is so cool! I know it will be even more fun when the leaves are out and the weather is warm. It has a ladder leading up to a hatch door that latches, which I think is Rhett's favorite part.
Great view from inside!
Dad and Jeryn working on the carved wooden sign for the treehouse. They're calling it the Pentagon.
Crosby spent some time target shooting with his new BB gun, and he also tried out my cousin's race car! He was pretty happy doing both!
One night we worked a jigsaw puzzle. This brought back fond memories because Dad and I used to do this every Christmas break when I was in high school and college. It was so fun to sit around the table again, and the kids even helped some, too. Once we start a puzzle, we don't want to leave the table. We talked my sister and Mario into going to pick up pizza so that we didn't have to take a break. We did the whole thing in one night. I loved it!
