We got a lovely, fat tree yesterday. Had it all nicely decorated and then during dinner, it took a flying leap off the table. Erik and I both gasped and scared Keagan, who then looked at the fallen tree and started wailing. He said "Look what Willow did!"- already blaming things on the dog (Willow was in the kitchen with us at the time). Luckily, no one was hurt since we were all in the kitchen, sadly, the same can't be said for all of our ornaments. Thankfully, it was really only a few that were smashed, it just looked awful when it happened. It turns out the tree has a oddly soft trunk and so we had to put wood shims in between it and the stand pegs for more security. We also wired it to the wall. It looks good now, but I didn't put my most precious ornaments back on it- instead I added more "shatterproof" ones.
Keagan discovered that he can tickle himself with the tree branches. I got some cute pictures of him laughing while backing into the tree.

Poor Willow....Charlotte blames Wilson for absolutely everything too! The tree looks cute, just put away the glass ornaments for a while. There's nothing like the slivery mess of an ornament smashed to bits! The Christmas Tree shop has so many affordable ornaments like nutcrackers, snowmen, raindeers, etc..all unbreakable and we've been using those for years now. I actually like them better than the glass balls!!
