A LITTLE Decorating...

Since our house is in such disarray this year, we decided to not decorate quite as much. We moved a couch, two chairs, a tree, and a table into our formal living room and set the tree up in there. It felt sooooo good to have a living room again. Even with Christmas over, we are going to leave the furniture in there until they are ready for the final coat on the hardwood.
Zane was getting a lesson on hanging stockings. They decorated the little trees for their rooms. We might have to upgrade next year. It takes them about 5 minutes and then H's kept falling over because he had used bigger ornaments :).When Zane got finished with his tree he pulled the chair over and enjoyed some football. Such a teenager (but I love it SO far).This was the funniest thing!! Lucy was chewing on some Christmas rope so Lydia started swinging it like a jump rope.They have become best buddies. When Lucy comes in she follows her and Harrison everywhere. The other day H said, "If you want to hear California Girls, come to my room!" Lydia jumped up and said, "Let's go Luce!" Lucy got up from the floor and followed them upstairs. The Three Amigos. Last night, she followed them all over the house. H was in his room in this spot next to his bed. She laid between him and opening like she was protecting him. She laid next to Lydia on the floor when we were reading a book. Lydia got up and moved closer to me and Lucy got up and moved right next to her. When I put her in bed, she stretched out all the way in front of it. She's pretty great :).The table is missing from this picture but you can tell that we didn't have a lot going on in there. It was kind of nice and simple.
I went shopping one night to look for an outfit for his office Christmas party. Jared and the kids had made hot chocolate and watched Christmas movies. He even thought to take a picture for me :). He's such a great Daddy!
