This is our home as it looked
when we bought it 9 years ago.

And this is our home after
it was re-sided a few years ago.
We changed the color to taupe,
added shutters all around,
and "fishscale" to the eaves.

Here's a picture of our house
taken on Christmas Eve a few Christmases back.
The kids are sledding in the background.
We don't get snow real often so when we do
they take full advantage of it!
