On Friday we carried out our annual trip to the Festival of Trees in Sandy, UT and loved it. We've done this at least 3 years in a row now as a family and have really enjoyed the experience. This year was especially neat for Brooklyn because she got to tell Santa that she wants a "My Little Pony Sweet Sundae Amusement Park with 1 Ferris Wheel" for Christmas. It's a mouthful, but she managed to get out. Of course she did have to ask Santa for a candy cane first though before she said anything else to him. (Ahhhh, gotta love being a parent!). She really was super sweet with Santa though, and it was fun to see her finally get to tell Santa what she wants for Christmas. She's been a pretty good girl this year, so I think the chances are good that she'll get it. :)
If you've never been to the Festival of Trees I'd highly recommend going. It's not too bad cost wise (we got the entire fam in for under $10) and the proceeds go towards Primary Children's Hospital. So the money they earn is definitely going to good use. Besides the beauty of the trees, there's a special spirit involved as well, knowing that each tree represents a loved one who has passed away. It's amazing some of the different types of trees people create to honor those who have moved on to their next life. There's a sincere dedication expressed in each tree, I always find it simply amazing.
Our family's doing well. We're gearing up for Christmas and are excited for the weeks ahead! We wish you and yours the happiest of holiday seasons!

That looks like fun! I've never been to the Festival of Trees before. Cute pics! :)
It sounds like you had a good time. I love the pictures and the fact that Brooklyn sat on Santa's lap. This is Haid's first year doing that willingly. The baby cried and the middle child flat out refused. She's a good girl, your Brooklyn :)
