Festival of Trees!

 The boys and I decided that we would go and see what the festival of trees was like this year! I always enjoy going to see all the trees. I love to steal other people's ideas on how they decorate their trees! This year they had even more trees on display then they have ever had! Anyone can donate a decorated tree. Then the public goes into the convention center and bids on the trees. The trees are on display for 3 days and at the end of the 3rd day the highest bidder gets the tree! The money raised is split between 4 charities. The money goes a good cause! (I have never bid on a tree before. We have 3 Christmas trees and I only put up 1 of them each Christmas. I just have a hard time justifying bidding on another one!) Anyway we always have a great time at the festival of trees!
the boys enjoyed walking around to see how much the trees were going for!
 
 and the stockings!
 
Bry thought this tree looked nice!
 
 This was my favorite tree (or should I say trees)
 
 Kode liked this Cashman Christmas tree!
 
 We decorate gingerbread houses each year! So while we were at the festival they had several gingerbread houses on display. So Kode studied them so that when he decorates his house he has a good idea on what its gonna look like!
 
This tree was a pretty cool one! Well the ending bid on it was $3,000.00!
It was way cute but $3,000.00 worth. I am not sure I could pay that but what do I know! The money goes to a good cause so I guess if someone wants to pay that price then that's OK!
