festival of trees

On Saturday, we went to the Festival of Trees in Salt Lake. It is a display of thousands of intricately decorated Christmas trees, dozens of gingerbread creations, and other Christmas crafts like wreaths & quilts. Everything is made/donated/decorated by different people and businesses. All of the displays are for sale and all of the money raised goes towards the Children's Medical Center in Salt Lake. Plus, Santa was there!

I know most kids have at least one year when they are scared of Santa and want nothing to do with him. Evidently, this is that year for Jackson!

"the Grinch"
"Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs"
