Christmas a bit early . . .

We kinda got our big Christmas present a bit early this year. You know how we love movies and football, well, we decided that we needed to improve upon our viewing setup. A new BluRay player and a new TV to go with it! We have sure enjoyed it, but then it came time to mount the thing on the wall. We have a built in entertainment center that limits the size and shape of the TV we can get. Well, the one we got should give us a quarter inch leeway on either side. (cross your fingers!)

Putting up the mounting bracket had to be exact or else the TV wouldn't fit in the hole. Jadeyn was our constant little helper making sure we got the measurements perfect.




Jadeyn's little blue hammer. Check out the concentration in his lips!!

The measuring tape was a favorite. It surprised Jadeyn a few times!

Mr. Studfinder!

Jadeyn is always a bigger fan of the real thing than his toys. It was a constant struggle to get him to be happy with his little blue hammer instead of the dangerous one!

After putting up the bracket we attempted to get the TV up by ourselves. It honestly would have been a piece of cake with three people, but Jadeyn wasn't much help. We could lift it just fine, but couldn't get it onto the bracket. A nights rest brought the answer to Kevin. I was upstairs and heard a joyous "Sweet!" from the living room. My brilliant husband had brough out the car jack, had hoisted the TV up a few inches and within minutes had the TV finished all by himself!!

What a project and we are gunna love the rewards!
