Festival of Trees '08

It has always been a tradition in my family to go to St. Als
FESTIVAL of TREES
each year over Thanksgiving Weekend

A couple of years ago they needed a new Santa set so the Morrison Center was called. We built it, painted it, put a fireplace in it and have put it together every year for them for the past three years. I posted pictures of the set last year.

This year is a special year. It is the
25th anniversary
for both the Festival and the Morrison Center. We, the Center, have a glorious 14 foot tree that we have for our lobby.
(We love De... she is very "focused")

We lent it to the Festival and our friend and fabulous designer De decorated it with our help. We built an amazing base covered with mirrors.



It is dripping with silver (silver anniversary) and is

GORGEOUS


With all of Matts health issues last year we feel incredibly indebted to St. Alphonsus for everything they have done for us. Volunteering every year for this fundraiser is the least we can do and we still get free passes to the events and awesome t-shirts.

We started that morning at 6am after finishing out at Caldwell High the night before after midnight so we were all a bit loopy!
