On Monday night, we brought all of our Christmas decorations downstairs and attempted to start decorating. This is one of my favorite Christmas traditions of ours. We turn Christmas music on throughout the entire downstairs, put on Christmas hats, and decorate. It really feels like Christmas after that! We didn't get as much done this year so it's still a mess (but it's getting better!) Here's Harrison rockin' out with part of our "peanut" Christmas tree.
He brought all of his Webkinz down and set them up around the living room so that they could watch us decorate. I love this view!
Waiting to light the tree. I wasn't sure what Lydia would think.
She liked it!!
She would NOT leave a Christmas hat on. Harrison was really into it this year (he always is). He was working away and realized that we didn't have our hats on yet and started passing them out!!
He decorated everything he could find in the living room.
He set the outside trees up and decorated those and my greenery (and the hearth, chair, and couch). I may have to leave some of his masterpieces up!!
Getting the train ready. This is one of Zane's favorite parts! We've had this train since he was 2 or 3 and living in Little Rock.
Lyddie was "helping" and Zane was cracking up. He's such a great brother (cheesy but true :) ).
You can't end the night without a big ball fight. This has become a favorite bedtime ritual. It really calms them down and sets the mood for sleep :). All three of my boys love it. It gets pretty intense!
On Tuesday, Lyddie helped me get a little more unpacked. She found these plastic mugs and played for a long time. It was funny to watch her concentrate so hard on stacking.
Where's Waldo... I mean Lyddie??? She loved playing in the boxes and checking out all of the new "toys". 
She played so hard that she fell asleep eating lunch.
Literally eating lunch. She was sucking on this cracker as she was falling asleep.

Okay...those pictures are WAY too cute! We're hoping to get all of ours up later this wknd. after we return from Ft. Smith on Sat. That makes me excited! That's hilarious that she fell asleep in the highchair after such a new & exciting day of adventure! Can't wait to see future posts a/b how much she WON'T leave the train alone for the next month! Ha!
Happy Thanksgiving guys! Love y'all so much!
I love the Christmas decorating traditions! And Lyddie snoozing in the high chair...priceless!
We attempted to put ours up too but it seems to be a never ending process! That picture of Lydia sleeping is just too cute!
It's official: I have the cutest niece and nephews in the world!! She looks adorable sleeping in the high chair. The boys looked so cute decorating the tree. (I know, "cute" is not a word Zane would want me to use to describe him.)

Lyddie looks so precious sleeping in her highchair. She had a big day exploring all the boxes!
