Kate looked around Mat's room. The fireplace was covered in greenery and tensile. The walls were covered in wrapping paper and his bed was stuffed with ornaments. She stifled a laugh, "My you did decorate and you used the whole box." Kate scanned the room, "I never seen such color."<br/><br/>Sara scowled and flailed her arms and Kate pointed at her, "Not a word, Sara." Kate hooked arm around Mats elbow, "You did a fine job. A bit more than custom. But we will go into town and get more decorations for us. Come, the tree should be ready and we will have music. Mat you do mind helping Ann?  Jasper, would you like to help me decorate the tree?"<br/>Sara glared at Kate, "Your going to accept this?"<br/>Kate led the group downstairs, "It is fine Sara. It is Matt's room. He can do as he pleases."<br/>Sara huffed and headed for the kitchen.<br/>Kate walked Matt to the kitchen and patted his shoulder, "You have done well. Pay no mind to Sara."<br/>She let go of him and smiled to Ann who was mixing ingredients in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Ann looked up seeing all the teens, "Well, would you like to bake gingerbread cookies?"<br/>Kate scurried to Jasper, "Come the boxes should be in the parlor."<br/>In a bucket was an eight-foot fur tree in front of the bay window. "That is lovely. Jasper, have you been allowed to decorate for a holiday? Would you like a tree for your room?"<br/>Kate looked to her right and Abby was inside the parlor doorway. "Hi. Abby, hope you slept well. I am ready to decorate the tree. Your welcome to help me and Jasper or join the others making cookies."
