These are some snaps from last weekend when we checked out the Festival of Trees. I should warn you now that there are lots of pictures as I love Christmas and decorating, so this show was right up my alley!
What made it even more special was that we hosted my BFF since 4th grade Renata that weekend who was visiting from up North. We had a great time and the kids now know why I love her so...we miss you already Ree! She's a very talented photographer and was sweet enough to take all of these photos for us, so pull up a chair and enjoy:
Starting off with a self portrait R took of herself and my girls...I love this one! :)
Here's Liney showing off the "nature tree", she was drawn to the red cardinals on it...
Kaley and Caroline standing in front of the "love tree"...isn't it pretty?
Here's Doug's fave of course, the "sports tree" (who saw that one coming?) The only thing that could make this tree better would be if it was covered entirely with Dallas Cowboys gear!
On to Kaley's fave, the "Disney Princess Tree", this one was all pink and fru fru shee shee and very girlie. You could actually buy tickets to win it in a drawing (we did) and it had $400 of gift cards on it...
I liked this tree with it's unusual color palette of magenta and "grinch" green, it's pretty whimsical just like Caroline!
If you look closely, you can see that this tree is covered with plush animals, making it Caroline's fave (go figure). I liked the shape of the tree (alpine, tall and skinny) myself.
This is my favorite tree since it would match my house perfectly and I adored the cream and amber tones, it was soooo pretty!
The girls show off the pretty "winter wonderland tree" with it's blue, white and silver theme...
The self portrait tradition continues...how cute are we?!
We all liked the "music tree" as we are a bit inclined in that area...cool, right?!
This "believe tree" was stunning with feathers and crystals...love it we did.
The sign above Kaley's head says it all in this one, tee hee...any girlie girl would love to have this tree for sure.
If you're still with me thanks! To end, here is a photo of my best friend and my daughters in front of the "florida tree" (see the palm frons). I love this one! We had such a great visit with "Auntie Renata" and hope we get to do it again soon...
