Festival of Trees

Our niece, Kaylan, had a dance recital at the Festival of Trees this year so we headed on down to see her perform and also to see the beautiful work donated by so many wonderful people for such a truly wonderful program. I read some of the stories of who a tree was crafted for and it just touches my heart so deeply. I don't know how I'd ever get through something as painful as losing a child, but seeing all the joy this festival brings reminds me even more of what my gifts are... my family. May everyone find the same joy this Christmas season!

Just a small sampling of the creative work done for the Festival of Trees. One day I hope to be able to donate something just as beautiful.

There were also all these amazing quilts. This was one of my "simple" favorites. Maybe because I think it's one I could see myself making... not too complicated.

About Me

My photo
Shane and I met my senior year of high school in 1996 and were married in 2000. It's just crazy to think we've known each other for more than a decade and still learn new things about each other. We both graduated from the University of Utah. I have a degree in Finance and Shane has a degree in Biology. We are both enjoying jobs in our respective fields. Our favorite thing to do is travel. Before we started a family, we spent two weeks in Europe touring Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and France. We want to see the world and hopefully take our children along with us when they are older. Our children are our life. Alexander "Lex" is our little man at 7 years old. He loves to try lots of new things. He's currently enrolled in soccer, tumbling & boys' hip hop. Isabel (or Bel as Shane likes to call her) is 3 1/2 years old. She is also enrolled in tumbling & dance. All in all, life is wonderful and we couldn't be happier.
