The Festival of Trees!

Jon's mom is on the board for the Festival of Trees, so every year since I have known Jon we go and volunteer throughout the week. Then on Saturday we usually go to enjoy it ourselves. It's fun to see all the different trees people donate. And when they are sold all the money goes to Primary Childrens. It's a fun night and a good cause.

This tree was awesome, it was all glass. It went for over $40,000. This picture really doesn't do it any justice.

This was one of the many trees Jon's mom did for the festival. This one was for Jon's Gramps who just recently passed away in July. :(

That picture of Jon and Gramps is great. I'm surprised you didn't write more about the glass tree.

How fun.. and again what a DARLING family! I love the Festival of Trees, we had to miss it this year, too much going on over the weekend. How cool that you get an inside track to all of it :)
