Festival of the Trees

This one snuck up on me.

Thank goodness our besties from down the street asked us to go today.

We would have missed it.

And this is one that I don't like to miss.

Many festivals really don't cater to the babes.

We drag them along anyways and luckily our kids are pretty adaptable.

{Eg.  Impromptu song & dance performance on the steps in Churchill square while waiting for the fireworks that scared the bejeezus out of Fiona anyways.}

Festival of the Trees is different.

There's so much for the kids to do.

We try to look at the trees and usually find something they like along the lines of Sesame Street or this year's giant snowman.

Really though, the Santa letter writing and cookie making stations are where it's at.

This year Fiona also enjoyed the "happy feet" piano and hockey.
{And here's the usual self portrait of me wearing Cedric.}

If you haven't been, it's worth it.

Even without the kids, I always love how it gets me in the Christmas spirit.

I leave you with a video of a future member of the Canadian Olympic Hockey Team.
