O Christmas Tree

The kids had so much fun decorating the Christmas Tree this year. Bailey loves trees, and it is one of the words she knows. She talked about the "tree" all night. I decided to put most of the decorations up high, and leave a few little ones down for Bailey to play with. Beau was VERY (a little too) helpful putting the decorations up high. The night went surprisingly well - then the next day. By 8:00 the kids had tipped the tree over. I wish I would have thought about grabbing my camera, I could only think about saving our poor tree. I put the tree back up, but it was pretty much just leaning there. Of course, Beau has a hard time listening to mom, just before dad got home, the tree was on the floor again. This time all I could think about is trying to not strangle my dear little boy (he willingly went to time out). Long story short- Clay came home (Beau stayed away) made a trip to Kings for a new stand, it broke - made a trip to Hastings for new bolts and fixed the first tree stand. After two timbers, and two tree stands, I have a tree standing, for now:)
