tree overload

so this last friday, chrissy, aaron, libby, sara, ty and i ventured on down to the festival of trees in salt lake. basically it is where people whos children have died seeking medical treatment in the primary children's hospital down here or who have children getting medical help there donate these ELABORATELY decorated christmas trees to this festival and companies or very very wealthy people bid on these trees for THOUSANDS of dollars... and all of the money goes to medical research for these children at this hospital. so picture rows and rows of crazyyyyy christmas trees, wreaths, and gingerbread houses filling up a huge convention center. it was really overwhelming and we didn't even get to actually see all of the trees on display. what a cool thing that they do every year though, huh? here are some pictures for your enjoyment! this one is for dad! a christmas tree made out of golf clubs!oh my goodness. this tree was soooo incredible in real life. it was made entirely out of blown glass pieces.. sooo beautiful. and they had lights inside of it going to the tunes of christmas songs.
check out this rad gingerbread house! and yes... there were actual REAL christmas trees decorated.. but i thought these ones were the most interesting and unique. love you alll
