The Festival of Trees

We engaged in one of our favorite family traditions and went to The Festival of Trees in early December. It's so pretty and fun and really gets us in the holiday spirit. Mom and Dad came with us and brought Bennett and Libby.


Natalee wanted a picture of every tree that contained dogs or other animals. Lest you think I didn't oblige, here are four of them.



These next two were my favorites. The "Up" tree and the "A Christmas Story" tree. Honestly, some of these people are so talented and witty!

Natalee thought it was pretty awesome to have an excuse to take a stroller somewhere. She rode in it for a while, then we let Bennett ride and occasionally Libby, the person for whom the stroller was for, got to take a ride. There was a short period of time where this also happened.

The children had a great time in the kiddie area again. We are the proud owners of another pom pom creature. Bennett loved making antlers and they all loved their new Elf Wands. However, the biggest hit of the night was the Bubble Machine. Holy cow, were they ever happy and excited to try that out!







Afterwards we went to dinner at Sweet Tomatoes. It was a fun and yummy day!
