Festival of Trees has become one of our holiday traditions, and on Friday night we went up and looked at all the trees. This year was packed, more crowded than we have ever seen, but we were still able to see some really beautiful trees. The trees are usually themed and decorated in remembrance of someone and then sold during the week at the Festival, and then all the profits go to the Primary Children's Hospital. This year we went with Rylee's best friend, Maddi, and her Mom and cousin. The girls were so cute walking and holding hands up and down the rows. Maddi and her cousin, Olivia, left a little sooner than we did, and then we watched some of the performances that were going on. There are two stages in the convention hall, and both had dancers performing. Rylee was absolutely fascinated by the performances and sat on Matt's shoulders and watched for a half-hour. Nolan was so good and just chilled in the stroller, probably mesmerized at how many people there were all around him! Next year we are already planning on going earlier in the day so it will be less crowded, but it benefits such a great cause and we still had a great time this year.
