Festival of Tree's






On Saturday we went with some of Kris's family to the Festival of tree's. I had never been to it before and was very curious as to what it was all about.
CROWDS is what it was all about. But the best part was seeing all the unique decorated trees, ginger bread houses, wreaths, and smaller trees. Their were some that were ugly, hilarious, beautiful, heart warming, so many different stories behind each tree. I wish we had the time and patients to learn about each tree and why they decorated it the way they did.

After enjoying a yummy scone we went over to an area for kids were with tickets they could make things. Broc got a tattoo on his check, then upon seeing how wonderful it looked he talked his Grandma into getting one just like his. Pretty cute! He made three reindeer ornaments out of light bulbs, a reindeer hat, and a painted a plaster ornament. There was also a phone both that you could go in and talk to an elf! But the line for that was really long and we were hungry. All in all we had a great time and wouldn't mind going again. Just not on the last day!












If you cant see these very well I will tell you what they are. The first one is on a shark, the tale is coming out the top and the head is right where Broc's head is. It was one that sold that along with the tree you got scuba diving lessons.

The second one is a smaller tree and it was for breast cancer.

The third one was of Temple. The person who bought this tree got several huge pictures of about 5 temples in black and white (the new ones that have come out) along with ornaments that had temples on them tiles with saying on them and signs about temples. It was so beautiful.

















This is a very cute playhouse that sold too, I want one. This is Broc's Aunt Pip, her daughter Taelor and our other neice Katie.
