I just pointed out bald spots where they could stick some:) I used to be a nazi too before Dakota came along. She has changed all my energy from ultra motivated to BLAH! :)Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075448443303793464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040301316924725850.post-21989961379164180562008-12-10T12:43:00.000-08:002008-12-10T12:43:00.000-08:00I am in SHOCK!

As a child, I would sneak out of bed to watch her decorate the tree. I also remember the heavily whispered and frantic reprimand when I attempted to help...granted I probably was (OK, still am) prone to breaking her delicate glass ornaments. So I can understand why she kept me away from the tree. :-) So anyway, I have had three going on four married Christmas Holidays and have yet to master the art of decorating the tree. My husband always has to step in and make sure things are organized and even. This year though, the tree ornaments are pink. That should keep Shawn at a distance. (He doesn't know yet, don't tell!)<BR/>Wish me luck! Love you mom.Shawn, Kayla, Evalie and Evanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939842065195049711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040301316924725850.post-36080313504157744412008-12-09T21:06:00.000-08:002008-12-09T21:06:00.000-08:00it looks so pretty...

I had a little table top tree I put that stuff on, but now there are too many. Someday, I'll just have to have two trees, for now, I have to deal with mismatched ornaments on the tree.Lara Neveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351324888724799014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3040301316924725850.post-6639419924893844462008-12-07T18:48:00.000-08:002008-12-07T18:48:00.000-08:00I love that story!

I have loved watching it go up. It should be done by the end of March 09<BR/><BR/>They put the steeple on it this week and it looks very grand and crisp against the blue sky.<BR/><BR/>There is a reason people are moving to Gillette Wy said our Stake President and so the missionary work from the members is really important right now.<BR/><BR/>And I thought I lived in the middle of no where! I lived on Nantucket Island and we were considered a twig - not a branch!
