Festival Of Trees

Getting a nice nap in on the car ride to the Festival of Trees.
Here is our family when we got there. Scott and Sasha came with us and we all had a great time.

Ezri prefers to push her stroller instead of being pushed around in it. :)
Daddy throwing Ezri in the air while we waited in line to see Santa Clause.
Ezri loves it when Daddy throws her in the air.
Ezri did much better with Santa than we thought. I am so glad we got a few good pictures.


Scott and Sasha also got to sit on Santa's lap. HEHE
This is Ezri playing with her Elf wand.
This year Ezri got to do some of the many projects and fun they have for kids. Here she is making some reindeer antlers.

TADA!
Ezri didn't want to ware her antlers so Daddy sported them around. Here he is breaking a rule.
Ezri also got to paint her first ornament . It is a Christmas tree. The part she liked best was dipping her brush in the water instead of the paint and putting that on her ornament.

Let's go fishing.
Ezri got so excited when she caught a fish.
Two fish were caught. The had fish cut out of paper with little suckers on them. I thought they were really cute.
We then walked around and looked and the candy houses and trees while Ezri ate her loot.
I thought this display was funny. A trailer park out of candy instead of a house. Clever.
The biggest candy house was this Washington DC capital. Amazing.
My favorite was this log cabin. Is there something more Christmasy than this?
The Harry Potter tree and display was one of my favorite trees. Very cool.
The sorting hat and Harry Potter's wand.
GO BRONCOS! Scott and I loved this tree.
Sasha and Ezri checking out the movie "UP" tree they had. Ezri would point and the balloons, and say, "boons." They as they were walking away she had to say bye, bye to it. So adorable!

This quilt was awesome I would love to make one some day. It is a count down till Christmas with little ornaments that you put on the tree everyday. There are pockets to keep those ornaments in labeled from one to twenty-five.
Ezri loved her Elf wand. She would just walk around with us waving it non-stop.

I love the holiday season! I work so hard to get all of the Christmas shopping done and presents wrapped by the first of December so that I can have stress-free fun like this with my family. We got to the Festival of Trees early enough to avoid a huge crowd. We didn't have to wait in line for Santa Clause very long or even to do the kid crafts. I loved that Ezri was old enough this year to participate in some of the activities they have there. We all really did have a ton of fun. After we got done at the Festival we shared a great dinner at Red Robin. Thanks for coming with us Scott and Sasha.
