Oh Walmart Christmas Tree

This is the first year Ben and I haven't had a real tree. It's a little sad. But a real tree would have been a disaster with Hurricane Finn. We can't keep him away from it, he LOVES the tree. We bought all non-breakable ornaments this year to add to Ben's ornaments that his Grandma made him. But so far, not many are staying on the tree.

So far Finn has:
*Put an entire ball in his mouth, and I'm sure the "nontoxic" green paint that was running down his face was great for his little body
*He has taken another ball off and kicked it around the living room, "whoa"
*Carried the knit Santa basket around
*Has only admired the apple, hasn't tried to eat it, yet
*Thrown the red knit bird

We created a furniture barricade around the tree, but Finn being all boy (and possibly some mountain goat), can get over that with no problems. Hopefully the novelty will wear off and we'll have some ornaments left for Christmas.

This is a great photo! I love it. And you can be like us--we only decorate the top 2/3s of the tree to protect it from the giant dog tail that lives in our house.

What a picture perfect moment. So glad you captured the sweet mountain goat that lives with you.
