Timber!

I got some fantastic shots of the bottom branches

Straining under the weight of all the ornaments.

DAILY SNACK

We got our Christmas tree on Sunday,

And decorated it the next night.

I got some fantastic shots of the bottom branches

Straining under the weight of all the ornaments.

I would share them here,

Except my camera-to-computer cord seems to have wandered off,

So it will likely be January before I can upload them.

And then, this morning,

Colum took most of the decorations off the bottom branches

To play with them.

And was re-hanging them on the other side of the tree when,

Whack!

Yup, the whole thing came down

Just missing my kid.

Miraculously, I was able to get it upright again,

But we’re waiting for Dad before any of the ornaments go back up.

And oh my god, the needles.
