Festival of Trees

We went to the Festival of the Trees this year. I have been wanting to go to it forever, but things haven't worked out for us to go... until this year! It was so fun. It was at the South Town Expo Center in Sandy, UT and the place was huge! There was so much to see and do. Of course the trees, but there were live shows of singing and dancing. There were sweets and treats. We saw centerpieces and wreaths, and we saw gingerbread houses. Everything was amazing. There were so many unique trees. Some of the ones I remember best were the upside down Christmas tree, the ladybug tree (you would have loved that one Cyndi!), the starwars tree, the princess tree(s), the Elmo tree, the hand prints on mirrors treeand a candy tree, along with litterally thousands more. It was so fun, and is something I want to do again and again every Christmas.
Do you love Peter's blue face from his cotton candy?
Sophie's favorite was the princess trees, of course!!!
Peter and Maxloved this starwars tree because it was filled with tons of guys!!
Can you believe these gingerbread creations are all edible? They were so cool!
We had front row view when the bagpippers marched around the place!

We went to the festival here in Kansas... it doesn't compare!!! IT had about 80 trees, or so the program said. I think it was less than that. SLC's festival is so much bigger!! Glad you got to go. IT's so fun!!
