Oh Christmas Tree







After 15 years of having the same decorated Christmas tree we finally decided to update our tree. It was due to the burned out candle lights and broken ornaments. Marshall and I bought some angels and picture frames from Joann's. We tried webcamming with Michelle to get some tips on how to arrange them, and then she did one better. She and Marshall's mom decided to drive out from Vernal to help us get it just right. Michelle has decorated many trees for Vernal's Festival of Trees and is very talented. Right away she knew we needed filler and after debating it with Marshall, (and if you've never experienced two Bukers debating it is something to behold) Michelle won the argument and we went to Tai Pan. After more arguments about the top of the tree, Marshall decided to trust his mom and sister and we came home with what we had chosen, and some white stuff that caused most of the arguing while we were there. We got right to work and after an hour they had it complete. We were amazed at how beautiful it turned out, and we even love the "white stuff." Marshall thinks it's all his doing and takes full credit for the entire tree. But the rest of us know better, and really appreciate Michelle and Shirley coming to the rescue.

I love the tree. Thanks for letting me help. I'm really glad I won the debate on the "white stuff" although hope we didn't scar you for life Kirsten. Hope you have a great holiday season.
