No ornament stories, but a Christmas tree oneWe used to always get real trees when I was growing up. When I was 13 and Cody was spending his first Christmas with us, we got the tree and set it up, decorated it and put it in the metal tree stand that you can put water in to keep the tree from drying out. I was washing dishes at the sink the next day and had the water faucet running, but when I turned it off, I heard what sounded like someone pouring water into the tree stand in the living room. I thought it was my grandpa, who was spending that Christmas with us, watering the tree. I turned to see it was Cody "watering" the tree in the first and only time he ever peed in the house! There he was nonchalantly lifting his leg on the Christmas tree! So nice of us to bring the outdoors in for him
