A couple days after we put the tree up I had gone in my room to sort out some laundry and when I came out I couldn’t see the kids anywhere. As I walked past the living room on my way to the laundry room I could hear them but still didn’t see them so I figured they were just playing in Olivia’s room by her closet or somewhere that wasn’t visible from the hallway. After I loaded up the washer I went into Olivia’s room to tell the kids it was time to get dressed but they weren’t there. It was then that I realized the giggling I was hearing was coming from the living room so I peeked around the corner and there they were.

Two little legs sticking out from under our tree.  This spot became their very favorite place to hang out for the last month. Every morning after breakfast, one or both of them would crawl back and lay down and inevitably the other would join in. This next picture was probably a week and half after we put of the tree. (Notice the boxes and ornaments by the tree? The boxes had ornaments in them that Ethan would put a few more on every day and Olivia of course, would take them off)

This one was about a week before Christmas. They had taken a small pillow and a few books in there so they could have some “quiet time to spend reading and relaxing” as Ethan put it.

It doesn’t look they they are reading and relaxing to me! What a couple of goofy kids!
