Festival of Trees

It was so beautiful, I have never seen so many Christmas trees in my life. This Fairy tree was one of my favorites, and there are more pictures of the gorgeous and fun trees later.


Logan and I tried to go to the park this morning, but it was freezing cold especially with the wind I found out later it was about 5 degrees. Then Grandma Helen invited us to go to the Festival of Trees with my Aunt Miriam and my cousin June who's boy, Austin, is Logan's age. We were glad Grandma saved us from a day of boredom.


Before we left Grandma was deciding what to wear to the Messiah tonight because she wouldn't have time when we got back. She walked out all fancy wearing these huge earrings and I laughed. We vetoed them because would distract from the soloist who she sits right under with the other flutes. But they are clip ons so Logan got to wear them a little and he sure liked them. When I am taking the picture he looks at the camera with his "I'm cute, and I know it" pose.
Before walking all over for two hours at the convention center we went to eat all we could at Sweet Tomatoes buffet. By that time we all felt like being pushed in a wheelchair like Grandma Carey, as June said. Logan and Austin were the cutest boys sitting together at the end of the table and eating plate after plate. Austin was always tring to feed Logan his pizza or cucumbers, and Logan just kep eating and eating. Nobody could believe that they ate so much although it was really nice because they were both so good and quiet the whole meal, eating as much as we did. There were concequences later, however, when we drove over the mountain back to Alpine Logan was eating an apple, and it was just too much food to keep in with the bumpy ride. He started saying, "Owie" and then he threw up right before we got home. What was funny is that later we were telling Grandpa what happened and as I was describing all the food Logan ate and how he just coughed it all up, Logan looked at me and opened his mouth to throw up a lot more. I was almost out of clothes by then, but we found some deep in the diaper bag.


Miriam's favorite tree, Breath of Heaven, was one I liked also, with a row of tutu's aong one side and that cute chair.
Great Grandma Carey and Logan got free rides. By the end we were all shuffled out and wanting rides, as Miriam said.
June's favorite.
Mom's choice if she was going to buy one, because of the statue that you would have when the tree was gone.

A kid favorite.

The Madame Tussou Tree, that was so nice of that lady to give up her whole doll collection. I am sure it sold for a lot.
The Book of Mormon tree was gorgeous with liahonas and everything. It was made for a BOM Dad and had lots of BOM games and cool things underneath.

Actually this was another of Mim's favorites. How cute for a girl's room.
I thought this was really fun and looks cute even with the ice cream theme.
Miriam's Barbie tree from the back. It turned out great, with the pink ribbon, and chair, and was a very popular one with the kids.

A great tree for my Dad.

A Jazz tree, that looked cool.

I have a Nursery Boy

I can't believe Logan is old enough to go to nursery. Here he is ready and excited his first day. It's been three weeks since then, and the transition has been hard for this little mama's boy. He won't let me get even cose to the door or he screams. Last week Pete dropped him off crying and after 15 minutes I hear his screams for "Mommy, Mommy" in the hall as the leader brought him to me. He was so upset that he wouldn't let Pete or I get more than a few feet away, wanting to hold onto both of us at the same time. He is such a cute guy, even when he is crying. I think I just need to explain it to him a few hours before church so he is prepared.
It was such a nice day outside for being the middle of November.

Just to please me, Pete did his hair spikey like Logan's. How sweet. I want to see it spikey when it's longer.
The weather was so nice we went to Salem ponds with Patty and her mom, Maria, and Jacob to feed the ducks. Boy were they hungry, there were three giant geese that were super loud and greedy. They wanted food so bad they almost bit Logan's hand off.
Two cute boys at the park. Logan likes to do whatever Jacob can. He loves Jacob so much. He kept pointing to him in the car and saying his name because he was so excited to see him.
