Festival of Trees

Luke's 2ND grade class made a tree to donate to the Festival of Trees. The Festival of Trees is a big event where trees, wreaths, and other Christmas decorations are donated and all the proceeds go to Primary Children's Hospital. This is a place that is dear to our hearts since at one point or another all of our children have spent time there. Luke was there for 10 days when he was so sick at birth, Harlee had tubes put in and removed from her ears, Nash spent a week there when he contracted RSV at 2 months old, and Gray had his tonsils/adenoids out there. We are so grateful for this hospital. So when Luke's class donated the tree we were so excited to go and see it and support this great cause. So we got a babysitter for Nash and Gray so we could just take to two older kids. We went to the festival and it was so great to see all of the amazing trees. Luke's tree was made up of frogs.



Each of the kids made a frog and accessorized it according to a story they had written. Luke's frog was a hiker so we made a backpack and sleeping bag.



After we walked through the trees we took the kids to Crown Burger for dinner.



It was so fun to enjoy dinner and get to talk to them about what is going on in their little lives. I decided we need to do this more often. What a fun night!
