I'd been debating in my head on what to do about a Christmas tree this year since I was afraid that Kai would absolutely demolish it! Bryon suggested hanging one from the ceiling or putting one outside our window. I thought we should maybe put one up on a table. But, in the end we decided that we NEEDED a real Christmas tree, inside our house, on the floor, and Kai was just going to have to deal with that :)
On top of that, we decided to be little more hardcore and a lot cheaper than usual (no "Land of Christmas" gazillion dollar farm tree for us this year!) and bought a $5 pass to cut down a tree on forestry land. After tromping through piles of snow, and shaking snow off many a tree to see what it actually looked like, we found a winner! It may be slightly "Charlie Brownish", but we love it. And, amazingly enough, Kai has suddenly started to listen when we tell him "don't touch". Perfect timing. Not one ornament has been pulled off. The presents haven't fared quite as well - one or two may have been used as a football and may need rewrapping!
We heard a lot of "wow"s when Kai saw the lights and decorations going onto the tree.

I love your tree...it looks perfect:) Great winter photos. I can't wait to see Kai ON those ski's! This year or next?
Great tree! You are so adventurous cutting your own tree down. :) Good job to Kai for not pulling off ornaments...he needs to teach Jane.
