Festival of Trees

This past week we went to the Festival of Trees with my family and had a great time! This is something I love about Christmas in Utah and I am glad we were able to go this year.


I LOVE the gingerbread houses!! They made me want to create something yummy.
This was the Wizard of Oz



This castle was crazy huge! It took 100 pounds of flour and like 15 pounds of sugar to make the gingerbread for this. It was amazing!!



This was my favorite and someday I will recreate it for a birthday party!




Considering all the toys he couldn't play with...Adam did pretty good! He loves Christmas trees and snowmen!

For all of you Twilight fans out there

This tree was done for sweet Brother Scadlock who passed away a couple of years ago. He was one of the sweetest men I know! He was a firefighter and the tree is decorated in honor of him. The star is a frayed fire hose...very cool.

My second favorite...a shoe tree!!


Merry Christmas!!!

Our Tessa Boo's first Thanksgiving. She is starting
to look like our own little butterball.
