The James Family decided to donate a Christmas Tree for the Blackfoot Christmas Tree Fantasy.  I was in charge so of course I got my girls to help.  Melanie and I went shopping with the money that was donated from our family and then decorated the tree that was donated by Karen.  
Hidden Treasures

Mom & Dad came over on Monday night to help out and fix the lights.  We were about to give up until Dave got home from work.  When there is a job to do.....he takes on the challenge.  He fixed all the lights!!  He is great at things like that.   Melanie and Chelsey and I finished up the decorating the next morning.                                                                                   

I know it doesn't look that great in the garage but I hope it looks great at the fund raiser and that it sells for lots of money to help out those in need.                                
 We have some hidden incentives to buy the tree......Dave gave up his basketball signed by all the Jazz players and coach Jerry Sloan.  Karen and Barry are bringing their football signed by Lavell Edwards.  Whit and Griff are bringing a football signed by the U of U football team.  We also have some match box cars hidden in the tree (thanks to Dave for buying them in storage auction) and some jewelry in the treasure boxes in the tree.

Wow mom! I LOVE it! It sure turned out beautifully! I only wish that I could have been there to help! I think that it will be the BEST tree at the party! Is there a prize for that?
