Saturday, December 8th - Minor Catastrophe ?

This morning, Ashley called for help. The Christmas tree had fallen and many ornaments were broken all over the tile floor. We scurried over to assist. It was not a huge catastrophe, just an inconvenience. We got the tree stripped of all ornaments and swept up the broken glass. Turns out that the base that holds the tree is quite heavy but wide/long enough for a 9' tree.

Later, MA and I came back to Ashley's to stay with the girls while Ashley had dinner with a friend. I stabilized the tree with some decorator wire and I think that will do the trick. We re-decorated the tree and it looks great! MA also did her magic decorating on the two front doors.
