Snoozing in the sun

Remember this post and this post about the deck and landscaping out back?  The landscapers were putting the final touches on everything well after the first snow of our last Winter.  Guess what?!  It's finally warm enough to enjoy it!!

Sunshine + blue skies = Heaven

Jim and I spent last Sunday afternoon hunting down deck furniture.  After looking at several stores, we found the perfect set!  Everything was delivered on Monday.  Check it out....

Awesome, right?!  We are still debating on how to arrange everything but so far so good.  My favorite part of the dining table is that the center rotates like a lazy susan.  Love that sucker!

 

Everyone has already claimed their spot.  Delanie loves to stretch out on the couch, the club chair is mine (because I looooove the way I can curl up in it) and the recliner is all Jim's. 

Friday night came and the weather could not have been more beautiful.  I came home from work to this sight.....

Which quickly turned into this....

How cute is it that Sugar is curled up to Delanie's head?  She is so used to Delanie carrying her around that it didn't take long for her to fall asleep. 

Jim quickly joined the party....

 

Not five minutes after that shot, I looked up to find this.....

 

 

It didn't take him long to relocate to the recliner.....and start snoring......

It kinda drives Jim crazy how many pictures I take of him asleep.  Hahaha!!  Let's get a close up of that little siesta.....

 

The group was finally complete when the hound decided to join us.  Yes, that's her bed in the background. 

The wonderful weather lasted only through the night.  It's chilly again but hopefully we won't have to wait too long to get back out there.

Speaking of waiting..... the firepit got a little sprucing up too. 

Since that picture was taken, we have added two more adirondack chairs.  We are busy planning Delanie's sweet 16 birthday party so we can finally break it in! :)
