Festival of the Trees – 2005

We had the pleasure of attending the Festival of the Trees today. Some of the highlights were the gingerbread houses, the jazzy Christmas music, and of course, the decorated trees.

Autumn loved looking at the different trees especially those that had dolls or little cars. She would also waive at people as we walked by.

The trees are decorated and donated to the festival by various individuals and organizations and then are auctioned opening night before the festival opens for general viewing. All of the money raised is donated to Primary Children’s Medical Center.

We enjoyed looking at the gingerbread houses designed after houses in Nauvoo. We saw a very neat display that featured a very nice framed painting of a little girl looking up at a Christmas tree and the actual tree on display next to the painting was just like the one depicted.
