Festival of Trees

I think we got a head start on advent activities this year by heading to the Festival of Trees this evening. I am usually hangin' with the YW on Wednesday nights but 2 of them were performing at the festival tonight—made sense to me to go support them and see them dance. I figured my kids would get bored after a few numbers and want to go look at more trees with Joseph while I stayed and watched more dancing. Oh no, my kids loved watching the dancers—the music was all very cheesy and Christmasy, the costumes bright and showy and the girls all dolled up—what's not to love, right? Plus, my cute YW are both cloggers and their pieces were really fun and upbeat.

 Loving the belly at 34 weeks (or at least that's what I tell myself as a daily mantra...)
After almost 30 minutes, I dragged my kids away and onto some fun activities before heading home. There was nail painting, fishing for treats, and ornament making.


And of course the sharing of lollipops between sisters.

So fun. I probably have not been to the festival of trees since I was in high school:( I miss it. What a fun atmosphere.

Yay I get to see the cute baby bump- I wonder if I will get to see it in person one last time?

I contemplated going to our festival of trees, but the aquarium adventure won out. I do think it is such a fun and festive atmosphere.
