Ryan vs. the Christmas Tree

This is our first Christmas in our house and the first with a truly mobile child. So, we weren't quite sure what were going to be in for when we put up the tree.

Lisa and I decorated it after Ryan went to bed the other night. Here you will see the original tree, uniformly covered with ornaments...



The next morning, Ryan awoke and thought we had set up a new toy for him. Trucks were, of course, the first targets. But from there on, it became a game of "how high and far can Ryan reach?"

By the end of the day, the tree had surrendered, knowing it had met its match. Here is the tree, in its modified version. Maybe in a couple years, decorating only the top 2/3 will be in style.
