Special Delivery from Santa

I had a special delivery from Santa today!

Brand spankin' new kitchen appliances! A dishwasher, oven, and fridge! 

We only had two snags with my special delivery. First, when we moved out the old oven, we didn't realize it was hard-wired into the electricty. I may or may not have had a slight panic attack when Jeff pulled the oven out and said something along the lines of "Oh @!$#!" Luckily, unbenownst to us at the the time, but thanks to a quick Google search, this is normal. Whew. I had one of those "why did we buy a 100+ year old house again?" moments. 

Second, after waking up to appliances, presents, dishes, and furniture EVERYWHERE {the joys of having a tiny old house}, the appliance guys came and started measuring our doorways. Now, Jeff had measured a 100 times just to please me and promised that we could get everything in the house. But the problem was, the appliance guys didn't. They took one look at our old house and said the fridge wasn't going to fit. 

I immediately went into our bedroom, turned on some cartoons for the kids, and closed the door. I refused to come out until I either heard the chainsaw cutting our walls down or Jeff telling me they were in. On second thought, if I would have heard chainsaws or swearing, I probably wouldn't have come out. 

The before with all the mess of moving old appliances {and not being able to do dishes... the day after Christmas with guests over}....

... and the after! Wahoo! It feels like we are actually grown-ups now with real, shiny stainless steel appliances! The only thing that would have made them better is if they came with a maid to cook and clean for me.

Which were "Aggie-fied" by the kids and Jeff in a matter of seconds. 

Oh well. So much for feeling like grown ups I guess.
