Rob put the lights on it one evening, and then we all decorated it the next day. We were going to put more ornaments on it, but the tree started to get too heavy and at one point started tipping over, so we had to stop! We didn't put many ornaments on the back of the tree since it's in the corner and no one would ever see them there, but all the weight in the front caused the tree to tip towards the living room. It was scary, but we managed to save it before it went over. Rob was laying on the floor next to it fixing the stand when it happened. 200+ lbs of sharp blue spruce needles may have caused lots of pain...I'd know...I'm the one who ran over to it to stop it from falling over. Ouch!
Anyhow, here's the finished tree. It makes the room feel so warm and cozy....especially when the lights are on and the fireplace is lit!

Notice the Lionel train set beneath the tree...it's the Polar Express!

Cody loves the tree....hopefully not enough to try anything though. =)
Well...now that things are decorated, it's time to start baking...we still have lots to do before next week. I still can't believe Christmas is only in 11 days!
