Festival of Tree

 Kathy invited us to go with her to the Festival of Trees this year.  I have not been for many years, and did not really enjoy it the last time I went.  It was so crowded that you could barely see the decorated trees and Aaron and I had a hard time standing next to each other because of all the people.  So I never wanted to go back.  Kathy convinced me that this time would be different, and it was.  We went on the opening day right when it opened.  There were people there, but we were able to see all the amazing trees, wreaths, and gingerbread houses that people had decorated and donated for such a wonderful cause.  We even got to see Santa.  Lily wasn't sure what was happening, but she loved the candy can that Santa gave her.   
 My sweet little peanut, oh how I love being her Mama. (This picture was taken by Landon.  I would have to say that he did a good job.  Only a little part of his finger is showing.)
 Landon was a very good boy all day. Lily wanted me to hold her the whole time, which seems to be how she rolls lately.
 The Festival of Trees has such a fun kids corner and all of the money goes to Primary Children's Hospital.
 Landon had such a good time painting a Christmas tree ornament.  He did a really great job all by himself.
 While we were waiting for him to finish Lily found out that she could suck on her candy cane and that it tasted delicious.  

 Lily and Aeowyn got to see Santa together.  Lily didn't really care about Santa all she wanted was to eat her candy cane.  Those girls are so sweet and I love to see how each of them grow and develop together.  
Thanks so much for inviting us Kathy.  We will have to do it again next year.

Can't believe no one has commented on how much fun you had. It's delightful to see those two babies together. See you in a few days!

Lily looks like she is loving that candy cane; she must have a sweet tooth like Landon.
I'm glad you gave it another try and had so much fun this time.
You look pretty. :)
