Festival of Trees Update




We went to the Festival of Trees on Brook's birthday, Thursday. It was hard to keep Auburn with us because she was so excited to see her gingerbread house. They had some amazing houses including a huge castle. We were all excited to see that the girl's houses had sold. Yeah!!! More money for the kids at the hospital. It was a fun experience for them. We walked around and looked at about half of the trees. There were 2 that were awesome....one was like a huge marble track for mini pool balls. The whole tree was kept in motion and the balls would even move back up to the top through the center. Then second one was made from large pieces of colored glass. Kind of like the art pieces that Dale Chihuly makes. It was gorgeous. Lots of people were stopped at both. Then we took the girls over to get their nails painted in the kids area. Another highlight for them.

Sounds like a fun day. Congrats to the girls for their houses selling. They both turned out really cute. We tried to make one last year and I think most of the candy was eaten before we could put it on the house. Oops! ;o)
