We're so sneaky!

So...my gracious in-laws religiously babysit our 2 kids every weekend so we can shoot weddings. They LOVE spending time with their grandkids and we love knowing that they are in good hands. Honestly, we couldn't do it without them. For years we tried coming up with a way to thank them but really, what do you give to people who just buy whatever they want?? MIL has been saying over and over again in passing that she wishes her basement was finished and she wishes the kids had a place to play so their toys didn't kill anyone! (anyone with kids knows how little legos and barbie shoes can really do a number on the safety of a home!! and a number on your feet!!!) So, last week they went on a 10 day vacation and Igor, my sister in law Katy, her boyfriend Mike and myself banded together and poured all of our energy into creating an awesome room. Yes, it was a ToTal surprise and ended with screaming and tears. It was totally TLC material. :) Here's the before and after pics. Thank you so much Marina and Alex for all of your patience and love that you show to our children and us. We couldn't do it without you!
