The children's hospital in Des Moines (Blanks' Children) raises money every year through an event called Festival of Trees. Companies (who choose to) donate trees and decorate them. Other companies then purchase them for their lobbies to donate funds. There is a silent auction as well and one company goes away with bragging rights for a year. It's really a great cause and there are fun crafts for kids to do while viewing the trees. Isaiah's favorite tree was a lego tree (though, he was pretty excited about the Woody Toy Story tree), mine is a peacock tree (stunning) and Kevin liked a god/red teddy-bear tree. There was an awesome Hispanic Heritage one that we took a picture for my dad (haha!) We took some great pictures, but unfortunately you will have to wait until Christmas cards to see some!
I also included a family photo from Thanksgiving.
