Festival of Trees

On Saturday we went to the Festival of Trees.
Summer, Ethan, and Avery loo in front of the zebra tree.
Say "CHEESE"
Aunt Ally and Avery. Avery loved to look at all the lights.
Little Avery loo who with the Grinch. (Everyone says she looks like a who)
Avery with Grandma Kathy and Great Grandma Shippen
The kids with Elves making candy...YUM
Ethan staring in amazement at the "Darth Vader" tree. What could be better for a 7 year old then a huge Darth Vader covered in little Star Wars action figures?
Group shot.....and some of our favorites



The BYU tree was donated by stores on line (the company Andy gets his leads from)

The kids thought the upside down tree was great, and it was covered in fairies. We had to take a picture of the raggedy Ann and Andy for Grandma Mac.

They had cute Gingerbread houses and of course we had to take a picture of the South Park tree.
After we went to dinner at Mcgraths. Kids likes the crabs.
I love Avery in blue.

Ditto on Melissa's comment! When do you go dark! Looks great!

Okay, want to go to the Festival of Trees! I honestly think that I have never made it up there! Way to kick off the holiday season.

How fun!! You look great with dark hair. As soon as my sister-in-law comes for the holidays, I'm doing the same thing. I only hope I look half as good dark as you do.

So all you Utah folks are crazy if you have never been to the festival of trees, it is great! So I went to the one here and it sucked, it makes me sad to see I missed the Utah one! Your hair really does look good though, I don't think it needs to lighten up! Only 5 more days!

Hey Sum,
Super cute pics!! I am proud that Kes thinks that Avi looks like Avery. She is too darling! I agree about the blue!

I went dark 2 weeks ago. It's been a fun change but I think we will lighten it again for family pictures in a couple weeks. Those of you who haven't gone to the festival are missin out. It was good times.
