decorating

the christmas tree went up last night even though i wasn't in a festive, lets decorate the tree mood. i was in the middle of watching ps. i love you- (cute movie) and husbands are sooo over rated and very annoying. that's all i'm going to say about that. kaylee, the cute little nugget that she is, started to place all the ornaments in one area- notice the 3rd photo. and she decorated the tree with the stars but placed them all on the floor which made for a great christmas image i think. we even got ham on some of the action (for about 5 minutes) and no he didn't volunteer to put his arm around me, i had to place it there but at least he didn't move it away. it makes me SO sad to see him taller than me. not that he's taller but what it represents~that he's grown up. totally hating it! and while these are straight out of the camera, i wish i had photoshop that would make me look skinnier. i don't feel like i'm that 'thick" as seen in the photos but i guess +unfortunately photos do not lie.

i know i said that i wasn't going to talk any more about the house situation but i lied. we did get an offer. whoo hoo. but it was really low. boo-hoo. i mean really low. so we counter offered twice and its back on her at the moment. i think she has till tomorrow to decide. its a hard numbers game to play really especially since this has been our only offer. she doesn't want to close till february either. which kinda sucks for us. if we decide to build, we might have to find a place for 2-3 months. not looking forward to moving "twice".
and here's more on our current house: stairs to the upper level, the hallway seen from the landing, kaylee's room off to the left. two views of kaylee's room.
