Festival of Trees

Going to the festival of trees put on by Mark's employer has become a family Thanksgiving tradition.  We enjoyed it so much more this year because we are usually trying to cram it in with all the other Thanksgiving activites, but this year we decided to go early.  We felt so much more relaxed as there were a lot fewer people and no time constraints and we especially appreciated not taking an hour to get out of the garage like we have in times past. 

Overlooking the parking garage.


 Jo not talking to the talking Christmas tree, but hey, he sat on the bench which is more than the other kids did this year.  They did enjoy the little children's crafts and the scavenger hunt.
 Seeing Santa again.  Jo had to be heavily persuaded this time and wouldn't be near him.
Posing with the reindeer - again not real.
