The tree after the incident
So to preface the tree falling- I have to explain. Our front room is too small for our tree. Our tree is artificial and one that you have to put in branch-by-branch. So our first Christmas in our house I came up with the idea of just filling the branches in the front and side and putting the back right against the wall. It does get heavy on the side with the branches so we put weights on the base to even it out. Evidently, the weights fell off- making the tree fall right on top of Brooklyn. Sean went over first thing to lift the tree off her and I was like, "Wait- I need the camera." It was actually quite funny! The amazing thing is that only 1 little bulb broke. We did have a mess after and I had to redo parts of the tree. But it is up and we have put more weights on it.

That is quite the story. I'm glad she Brooklyn wasn't hurt!
Well not many kids can say they've had a Christmas tree fall on them. It's good she wasn't hurt.
Your tree does look beautiful....more so when it is standing upright!!!
You were the topic of conversation @ Sunday dinner ~ who would ever let their Christmas tree fall over on their kid?? :) That is one that will never be forgotten! Good thing she is okay! Maybe time for an updated newer version that doesn't fall?
I'm so glad you managed to get a picture! It was so funny because I heard Sean yelling at Brooklyn before you even had a chance to say "hello." I thought to myself, "Oh man...Brooklyn has really done it this time." It was almost a relief to know the tree had fallen and it wasn't even Brooklyn's fault! :)
