Tree Suspension Project

Holidays are quite an exciting time of year for kiddos, and we are not totally sure what is going on -- yet -- but, by next year, things will be clicking for "K!"  So, Mr. Fixit decided to place decorations in strategic locations.  Like really high locations, or where we can see them, but they cannot be touched.  Pretty smart, right?!

Mr. Fixit suspended the tree over the living room stairway.  He set some 2X4's over the stairway top, and balanced the tree upon an upside down cattle feed tub.  I thought this was a very clever use of resources.  The cord for the lights reaches down into the basement.  Mr. Fixit plugs it in there.  We can see the tree through the stairway openings in the living room.

The only downfall to this decor set up: no place for presents to sit!  However, the guys do not yet know that presents normally accompany a Christmas tree! ;)
