Hailey wanted to wear her Christmas dress on Sunday so I had to take some pictures:

I think that Peter Pan might be kissing Ariel in this picture.

The characters all went on a bus ride from the playroom to the living room.  What were they there to see?

When we bought our house last summer there was a small room in the downstairs that Brooke decided she wanted to use as her room when she stayed with us.

Move in day- dark brown paneling and dark blue carpet

Brooke painted the room white and Rich put down a new floor.

Since then Brooke has graduated and does not use her room anymore.  So we decided to turn it into an office for Rich.

Here are some before shots:

A view into the closet- it was never painted and floor was left alone since it was inside the closet and no one could see it anyways.

The other side of the room.

Paneling ripped down.

Once the paneling in the closet was taken down you can actually see into the room next door- our laundry/storage room.

Dry wall going up

Closet gone to make more room.

Rich picked out a color for his office and painted it.  Here is the finished room:

Last week Hailey’s dance class put on a little dance at the end of her practice.  They did Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer for the parents.
