Santa and his Elf

Katelyn is one lucky little girl!  For Christmas this year, her Grandparents (all of them) chipped in to get her a swing set.  I have been wanting her to have one for a while now, but it took some covinicing Chris before we could get one.  Santa (Chris) came early to build the swing set and enlisted the help of his trusty Elf (Jim).  While Katelyn was at school, they worked all day to get the swing set built so that she could see it first thing Christmas morning!!  Now wouldn't it be our luck that we would go all year in a drought and then out of the blue it would rain almost the entire week before Christmas so the ground was soaking wet and nasty when we try and build a swing set.  Yes it would be and the bad luck would continue when it rained the day after it was built, Christmas day and the day after Christmas.  After a long day of building, curing at the horrible instructions, and a couple of trips to Lowe's, the swing set was as built as it was going to get before Christmas.  I am so thankful Santa's Elf was able to come in to help as the nice 6-8hr build time listed on the box was obviously a type and should have something like 16-17hr build time.
