Today I went with my mom to the Festival of Trees. This is a family favorite tradition that I do with my mom and sisters every year. Unfortunately, only my mom and I were able to make it. We had a lot of fun together hanging out and admiring the amazing trees.
This "Forever A Princess" tree is a very special tree dedicated to our friends Paul and Ashley Peterson who lost their sweet Ashley this year to a cancerous brain tumor. She was only 6 years old. This tree is so beautiful. When I saw their tree, I couldn't help but get choked up. It breaks my heart that these two amazing parents had to endure a trial like this. Our prayers are with them this holiday season.
Caleb couldn't wait to sit on Santa's lap and get his favorite candy, a candy cane. Izzy is terrified of Santa and wouldn't come close to him. Maybe next year she will.
My mom spoiled my kids with yummy scones and cute treat packs that were sold at the festival. This little purse Izzy is holding was filled with treats. She loves purses. Isn't it cute?
Instead of a purse Caleb got a Thomas the Train treat pack
