Our original Christmas tree plan involved a small live tree on top of the coffee table in the corner of the living room. By the time we picked a lot to look around for a tree, I was so excited (since we didn't mess with a tree last December) for a tree that we ended up with a 7 foot tree. It has actually worked out surprisingly well! We thought we would need to keep our gate in front of it, but both Alex and Kovu have pretty much left the tree alone. Well, Kovu did spend the first 24 hours with his head buried between the branches to breathe in the fresh pine scent, but now that it's decorated he pretty much leaves it alone. Alex enjoyed checking the lights for burn outs and periodically pulls some ornaments off the bottom branches, but he's been great with it too. We just put non-breakable and hook-less ornaments within his reach and ran some fishing line from the top of the trees to the tops of the windows. :-) Here are some pictures from decorating the tree and admiring the tree the next day (thanks, Great-Grandparents Workman for the cute sleeper). I'm also going to share a picture of the outside of the house (we really wanted to light up the Palmetto trees, but we figured it was way too much work without an extension ladder).
