Putting Up the Christmas Tree

We have a tradition where every year Heidi Anne gets a new ornament (something that reflects her throughout the year.) This year's new ornament is a little girl bear coloring with chalk on a sidewalk. We also pulled out Heidi's first and second ornaments, which she just loved and treated them like they were brand new. (Always nice when 2 years later they still love their ornaments).

So Char went and salvaged our baby fiber optic Christmas tree from the garage so we could it set up. Last year we had the tree up on the mantel to keep it away from the kittens, however, this year it just wouldn't fit, no matter how hard Char tried, he just couldn't get it to fit. After a few minutes of playing Janga with the tree, we decided that we needed to put on the table where Heidi normally sits and colors. We figured that the cats would leave it alone, and at worst, maybe they would knock some ornaments off because they were looking at the tree. We went upstairs for the night, or so they thought. Char went down for gifts to wrap after Heidi Anne had gone to bed and found the tree had been completely knocked down. Both the cats were looking at us like "Who did That? Must of been that dog...." So we got to decorate the tree twice.
