Beginning to Look Like Christmas

As the Christmas Season began Brian and I had a lot of fun. We went to Temple Square (kind of), City Creek, nephews basketball Tournaments, and the Festival of Trees. It was so much fun and we got to do most of it just the two of us. It was a great beginning of the holiday season.

 We knew we wouldn't have a lot of time to see Brian's nephew play but we got to see at least 2 games at a tournament up here in Logan. It was funny we thought it would be hard to find his nephew until he got on the court in his bright yellow shoes and it was like never mind you can't miss him.

Then we also got a chance to see the Festival of Trees. One of my favorite places to go during the holiday season. Not very many people I know like it but luckily my husband will take me every year. I just love Christmas Trees and what the Festival of Trees is raising money for. It just starts the spirit of the season for me.

Charlie Brown Tree

Monster's University. This tree the librarian's eyes moved it was funny to watch and see everyone's reactions.

Such a simple sweet tree

I thought this tree was so cool since it was made of bats.

The Nemo tree was in a fish tank.

This was a beautiful picture and it was made with wood from all over the world. The list is in the picture below.

The camera tree. This was so cool.

The Grinch scene was pretty awesome too

This year though the gingerbread houses were not to be out done by the trees.

This gingerbread house took 11 months to complete. It was so detailed!!

I took some picture to try to show each side and the detail, but it was hard as it was rotating.

Minions were a big theme in the gingerbread houses.
