Christmas decorating - getting closer

So I was able to get a little bit more of the house decorated today.   I did this while The Babes slept and the two older kids were at school.  What I didn't realize was how disappointed Our Sweetie Pie would be when she came home from school to find out that I had decorated without her.  Good thing we have the weekend to decorate together and I already promised the kids ( and myself ) that we'll put up and decorate the tree.

Now for what I did today.
