Last night our little family went to the Festival of Trees. What a neat place. It was held in a big conference center downtown, and talk about a christmas atmosphere. And so many Christmas trees! It's a competition where companies sponser a person to decorate a christmas tree. There were glitzy trees, sports themed trees, mod trees, old fashioned trees...and there was a fabulous gingerbread house and decorated christmas cake competition as well!!! I did not know this. Look out people, I will be entering both or at least one of those competitions next year! I can make a cake or a gingerbread house!!!!

Anyhow, thought I'd post a pic or two of some of the fabulous trees we saw. I'm so in love with the 'woodland' theme tree this year. Unfortuneately finding ornaments in this theme appears to be more difficult than I had imagined!! There were so many 'glizy' trees. I loved them. And gigantic ornaments. So pretty. Perhaps I just like shiny and glitter.
This was the first of our christmas outings. Monday, being the first day of December, is officially the day I can start putting up christmas decorations! Hopefully tomorrow we can get our lights up on our house. Lots of people on our street already have their lights up and turned on at night. A little early, but one must think 'safety' here and be doing lights before the really cold weather and snow hits. I'm hoping we can be safety concious and do the same.
