Pippin decided to climb the tree yesterday. It's a pretty small artificial, but it didn't tip. There are lots of ornaments strewn around the house though from little cats being naughty. Luckily, I bought the kind that won't shatter.

Sometimes the dogs get lucky and one of the cats will knock off candy canes. I've caught Mr. Vallis with a couple of them in his mouth before. It's kind of cute- he even figured how to unwrap the plastic.
