Christmas decorating has begun. The youth group has the large task of decorating the kitchen/auditorium and the boy's and girl's dorms are starting to show signs of the upcoming season. Since this is the first year to have long term volunteers in the visitor's dorm, there isn't a tree designated for the house. Being the sap that I am, I really wanted a tree but knew that to start from scratch could be a bit expensive. Being worse that a kid, every time we were out and I saw the lights being installed in the stores and decorations on shelf, it made me want one even more. Ira and I decided to get a small tree, probably because he was tired of me whining. We have placed it in the house on a small table from the workshop. I told the kids I really needed some decorations and before the end of the day, I had enough to decorate. I was so excited and started sharing the news with everyone, so much that one volunteer reminded me that I had told him 4 times already. Oh well, something about the lights on a tree at night just stirs my spirit. I have a couple of pictures to show you how beautiful it is! We don't have the official top yet because one of the older girls is making that and it is going to be something we can use each year.
this is a bit blurry but gives you an idea of how spectacular it is
