The "Trees"

Brooklyn performing the part of "Clara" from the "Nutcracker"

Trees, trees and more trees. Beautiful trees.

Yesterday we went to the "Festival of the Trees".
Brooklyn's dance class was performing
so we made an event out of it and took Benjamin as well.


WOW!!

I have not been since I was a Laurel.
I had always been misinformed that it was terribly expensive.
NOT TRUE!! $4.00. That's it.

Well worth the worthy cause.

Trees decorated in every imaginable theme.
Sports Teams
Princess
Winnie the Pooh
Disney
Fishing
Racing
Reading
John Deere
The Grinch
etc. etc.

Sold at huge amounts of $$!
I heard on the radio that it earns over...
One million Dollars a year for Primary Children's.

Plus add the fudge shop with many goodies besides fudge.
The gingerbread houses.
The wreaths.
All of it amazing.

You too can see this wonderful
Christmas extravaganza
until tomorrow.

I think it ends December 5th.

Load up the kids and go!

P.S. We ran into a member of Benjamin's surgical team.
She saw him first...and said she almost didn't recognize him.
She could NOT believe he was the same boy.
She hugged him and was soooo glad to see him looking so good. :)
