Christmas Tree Mishap

Michelle and the kids picked out the tree this year.  They got the fattest and heaviest tree they could.  Our piddly old tree stand gave up the ghost and collapsed under its weight.  It happened while no parents were home and miraculously, the only thing that was done beforehand was that Mike turned on the tree lights.  Yeah, right...  I was still at work, so I had Sammi snap a pic with her phone and send it to my phone so I could show the dudes at work.  I figured I would share with everyone...  Picture credit goes to Sammi.
