Festival of Trees

November 21st

I wish I could say I has pictures for any of this post, but sadly I do not. We did take some, but ended up giving grandma Monson her camera back and the pictures were on it.
Anyway we did end up walking around the festival of trees this year. They are all so beautiful and I wonder how they decorate the trees so pretty when mine sets at home looking like it does. Then I decided they have money, and I use what I can. The girls favorite tree was a barbie tree, and Preston's I think was a sports themed tree...go figure on both accounts. We went with Grandpa and Grandma Eves, and Aunt Stephanie, then went out to Paradise cafe for dinner. We had a really good time, and the food was really good. I know this picture is horrible, the lighting, the smiles, the eyes closed, but it's the only one we had still.

Dickens Festival
December 3rd

We headed down to St. George for the annual Dickens Festival, I really liked it this year. They had a lot of things I would have loved to buy. Of course we came home empty handed, but it was still fun to look, and get ideas. They kids favorite part was of course the free sample of food...especially the fudge. The love there chocolate. We had a great time, and the kids were definitely ready to go when we finely decided to leave. They were expecting more kids stuff...oh well. We then went out to eat to Wingers, which of course made up for all the walking around with the kids. Dean got the all you can eat wing promotion they have going on right now...and we had to laugh, because they only give you two wings with every order, so Dean kept telling the guy just put in a few orders at a time for me. It took like 20 minutes to get a new order, that's how they get their money off this promotion. People don't want to sit around and wait 20 minutes for their two wings to come. Oh, well it was still fun to get out and do a little Christmas shopping, and be with the family.
