Festival of Trees

On Friday, I took Scotlyn out of school and went to the festival of trees with my mom and my sister in law. We ended up being there for 6 hours. It was a fun day, and nice to think that in some small way, you can help someone else get the care they need for their child. The first thing we went to was the Kids Corner where they had all sorts of arts and crafts for the kids. Mason could even participate this year! Here they are making caterpillars.

This is Scotlyn making a sand necklace, which she has worn every day since.

Ivy getting a manicure.


Painting Christmas ornaments.



This is my sister in law Lyndsey with her little boy Emmett. I could just kiss Emmett's little cheeks right off! He is so cute!



Here is Ivy calling an Elf telling him that she would like a Barbie for Christmas. Oops, Santa was not aware of that one! I wonder if a doll would be just as good, because that is what Santa thought she wanted. (I need to train my kids that they can't change their minds like that!)


Mason Ice Fishing, which he did three times. He loves those suckers!



I was amazed at the gingerbread houses. There were two "UP" houses. How do they make those anyway? Very Impressive!


This train was amazing! They wheels even turned!
Here is a picture of how long the train was. Yep Amazing!

We took this picture just for Mason. This would be the tree of his dreams.


Here is Mason riding in the stroller with his cousin. I'm glad I borough the double stroller, it worked out great to put Emmett in there too!


Wow, what a fun day we had at the festival. It was great to be there with family and enjoy the beautiful trees.

Hey Deb, I haven't checked the blogs for a couple months. I feel like I haven't seen you forever because of that. We went to the Festival of Trees on Saturday and it was crazy. Wish we'd gone on Friday.

Entertainment

These photos were taken about a month ago. The snow is now all gone, Yeah! I tried to shovel a path through the snow so the kids could get to the playset to play. When Mason saw what I was doing, he immediatley took over shoveling. He shoveled for at least an hour, piling snow into the grey bucket. If the girls even tried to have a turn, he let them know it was his shovel. I'm sure he felt like he was a backhoe, moving dirt. That is his dream job.

Scotlyn's Birthday Party

Image
Scotlyn's birthday is this coming Thursday, but because her birthday always falls around General Conference time, we try to have her party the week before conference. She has been counting down the days until her party all week. It was a lot of fun, and was so nice to have her party outside this year. Every year on her birthday, the weather has been cold, until this year. This is a picture of her a couple of days ago, when she decided she was going to build a hot air balloon and fly to Salt Lake. She packed a change of clothes in her backpack and took food with her in the box. She also had a few toys with her, but when she was ready to fly, she realized that there was not room for her to sit in the box. She kept saying to me, "Mom, this is really going to work. I'm going to Salt Lake, I'll be back later". It was too cute. She never did make it to Salt Lake, but she didn't seem too disappointed that she didn't fly. I love how at this age, they lo...
