Festival of Trees '09

Last Night Nick, and I met up with Rob, and Amanda and we headed up to Sandy to see all the beautiful trees. We love going to the festival of trees each year. People decorate and donate hundreds of Christmas trees in loved ones names. They are auctioned off. All the proceeds go to primary Children's Hospital. This event holds kind of a special place in Nick's heart due to Alex spending so much time in Primary Children's. Its always a good reminder of the blessings we have, and is a great way to start of the Christmas season.

It's SO AMAZING what people come up with! This year there were so many creative trees! These were some of our favorites... (It was hard to choose a few, so here are a lot!) :)
