Are indangered trees a part of your home?

We have a serious problem in out home... the Christmas Tree is in DANGER!
The culprit, a 1 1/2 year old named Amelia James!

Caught red handed! ( and that is marker all over her face!)
And in the act again! At first the problem was the lights. She thought they were pretty enough to eat. I think she has figured out that they don't taste that great, so now she is on to removing (breaking) the ornaments. I thought I had played it safe. I laid out the "non-breakables" and let the kids put them on the tree. All the ornaments ended up mainly on one side, and all at one level, but it was...cute. Then, I put most of the breakable ones up high, securely tied to the tree. I left my most favorites in the box this year, afraid the tree may end up sideways.
BUT, Amelia (with help from big sister Lilly) has removed many ornaments, and found ways to break, even the plastic ones! Lilly showed her how to get them off, after I double looped them to the branches.

The trio, looking so cute and Innocent :)
Now I'm wondering how long it will be before they realize the stockings are within reach!
