Deck the Halls...

This past Saturday, I guess that would make it yesterday, we decorated our house for the holidays. It took some convincing to get Ben excited about putting up stuff that he'll only get to enjoy for a little less than two weeks before we take our trip up to Seattle, but he eventually came to and even turned on some Christmas music (with words even) that's a big deal for him... he still banned the kiddie Christmas cd Heidi got for Lizzie though.

I really don't know why Lizzie's standing in the corner...
I think she's just trying to get out of Ben's way.

This was the first time Lizzie was really into hanging ornaments...
all four of them and most of mine too.

She was either there or on Heidi's lap the whole time we decorated.

Somebody didn't like the christmas tree.
Apparently it's not much fun to play with... it poked her back.
