Christmas Celebration 2003 / Page 20 of 21

When we arrived back at the house after shopping on December 29, sometime around 2:30 p.m., one of the Christmas trees was lying on the floor. Ornaments were strewn everywhere. The kittens somehow managed to tip it over, despite the 20 pounds of weights on the stand!

To avoid further holiday disasters, I took down both Christmas trees with their ornaments, garlands and lights, and put them away for the season (4:40–6:10 p.m.). The rest of the decorations would be left up until the New Year.

In this photo, Sunny is still sleeping beneath one of the trees as I am taking it down.
