The Mayor's completed Battle of Helm's Deep.
This is the fulfilment of something the Mayor has wanted for a long, long time.
As a bonus, the Mayor made an Eye Spy list for everyone to find hidden items.
The Mayor also got some work done in the basement, fixing up and installing new shelving and trim in the pantry and cellar.
The Michael Delving Hobbits sent a matching gate sign to the Singapore Hobbits as a penthouse-warming gift, and here's the sign installed on the new penthouse door.
On one clear night, we did a fire pit in the backyard.
Ela and Seimi playing with fire (under the Mayor's "adult" supervision)
The hobbitlings had a Christmas last hurrah on New Years Day and managed to watch most of the Christmas movies they hadn't gotten to yet. They also decorated this year's gingerbread creation - a holiday RV. Happy New Year!
