Festival of Trees


We always go down to the Festival of Trees for Christmas and this year was no exception. This year the girls performed at the Festival with their school choir. Even better - a two-for-one event! And even better than that, they got to do it with some of their dear friends (Evie and Lizzie Tesch).

Speaking of friends, I have to put in a little side note here on how grateful I am that my girls have such neat friends. We live in a wonderful neighborhood where they are surrounded by some wonderful gals their age.

Back to the Festival - Megan only allowed us to stay for about an hour looking at trees before she informed us with her high-pitched squeals that it was time to go. Before heading out, we quickly grabbed our usual scones still hot and covered with a scrumptious sugar coating and then made our way over to the kids craft corner - the highlight of our girls' evening.

They are in craft heaven every year with about 15 different crafts to choose from. (If you don't remember, see my posting a few down about having all girls and the amazing craft messes that are produced). Megan thankfully obliged her sisters by playing contently with John for a few minutes while they made small purses, fur friends, and sand necklaces.

Seeing all the decked out trees makes me start pining over our tree, which thankfully will be retrieved tomorrow from the local Christmas Tree Farm.
