The Festival of Trees

Maddie and I went to the Festival of Trees on Saturday. We took 14 girls from our church between the ages of 8-11. All the trees are donated and sold and all the proceeds go to the Children's Hospital. The trees are so amazing!

This was most of the girls favorite tree. It had 15 American Girl dolls on and around it, so cute!

This tree is made out of blown glass and sold for thousands of dollars. It was so beautiful!

This is an origami tree. Maddie loves origami so we had to take a picture of it.

I think this is the Jazz tree. I took a picture of it for my mom and Grandma.

Maddie and Marissa played soccer together so I took their picture by the soccer tree!

That was the last day of the Festival of Trees. Next year I'm going to take my whole family because I think the boys would really like it too.

How fun! I want to go with you next year! =) Now aren't you glad you were volunteered to go at the last minute! ;) The gingerbread houses are incredible and the trees are beautiful. Taylor will love the American Girl tree. I'll have to show her.

I love, love your family picture. I've never seen that one before. You guys are so cute! (Sorry, I wish there was a better way of leaving messages on here!)

Sounds like a fun outing. The gingerbread houses caught Owen's eye. How long did it take to look at it all? Is it a huge display?

Have a great Christmas. I don't think we are going to get cards out.
