Project: table

Gino started working on Isabel’s Christmas present last night after work and unlike the crib that he made for her, I wanted to make sure I documented the build for this project. Enjoy!

A arc was put on both ends with a router to give it a less square look.

Breakfast buffet

Today we had the honor of attending Gabbi’s school and having Gabbi and her class serve us a breakfast buffet with foods prepared by them for us. Very cool! Enjoy.

The “new” school name; the school was actually called Kitchen Academy and then the second week Gabbi started, the school was upgraded to Le Cordon Bleu!
How cool is that!?!
