Chino Valley Hometown Christmas

So, can you tell Dad isn't really feeling well? It was dark and cold and he was SO tired. We set up the tree this morning. It'll be up Friday evening and Saturday afternoon. That's it. At least MDI Financial Services got a nice big mention!

The finished tree. The table next to it has the story of the cranes and business cards.


Dad and the tree! Aren't they cute?

"Big" cranes. They're very floppy since I made them from wrapping paper. I do NOT recommend trying to make cranes that are out of 37" square paper. VERY hard to fold!


Dad and Santa. AKA Mike Tobey from the Rotary.


And, the finished cranes. They looked really good. We made them out of a foil-type origami paper. We had a wee assembly line going for Monday - Thursday nights as Dad would do the base (waterbomb), Mom would do the next bit, and I had to finish it.

They made me do all the hard parts.

All in all, we made about 80. Which was perfect (and we didn't have to decorate the BACK of the tree. Whew!)

Alvin, Mom, Dad & I went Friday night to look at it.
