Festival of Trees

We went to the Festival of Trees on Saturday. We were planning on Bret being with us, but he took off for the Cougar game in San Diego at the last minute,so it just ended up being me and the kids.

Grandma and Grandpa Z had never been

to the festival, so we talked them into tagging along.

We loved having them with us!

Shawn could tell something fun was going to happen.

What a smile!

We all did a bunch of stuff in the kids corner . . .

life-sized bubble, sand mix, reindeer spoons,

and Tyler even talked to one of Santa's elves.

Grandpa and Shawn were so brave to wait for the activities to end.

The gingerbread houses may have been

our favorite things at the Festival!

Jenny and I are ready to make a tree

for the festival next year. Is anyone else in?

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let is Snow!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

We woke up this morning to snow, snow, snow!

The kids couldn't get their snow clothes on fast enough.

So today, we are deep in Hot Chocolate,

Snowflake making,

and staying inside with lots of

Christmas music and decorating.

What a fun day!
