reading by the tree

My son moved a pillow and blanket into our living room the other day so he could read beside the Christmas tree. I loved how he set up such a cozy spot for himself. I should do this too.

He's been organizing the books on our bookshelf, so he's "reading" one of our books here.

And here I think he's explaining the principles discussed in Self-Reliance.

Isn't that just the coziest place to read?

But just so you don't get the wrong impression about this idyllic scene, here it is from another angle. There's a healthy dose of chaos mixed in with our cozy and cute. Just the way it should be.
