december 4...

  Guess who we saw tonight?!?  december4_stamped

Yeah, I know, he looks a little....plastic.  He was.  But guess where we saw him? 

Yep, at The Festival of Trees!  I finally went!  It was amazing - I can't believe I've never gone before.  Hundreds of gorgeous trees.  Amazing.  I took tons of pictures - 120408_fot1120408_fot2 120408_fot4 120408_fot5 120408_fot6 120408_fot7 120408_fot8120408_fot9

I just couldn't stop.  One thing I noticed as I looked back through the pictures - My favorites were the traditional trees...reds, greens, browns, etc.  Meagan loved the white trees with BRIGHT decorations.  The little boys were on the lookout for the Grinch - and we spotted him a LOT!  I hope we can make this a family tradition - so much fun and such a great cause.

And if that wasn't enough to get me in the holiday mood...this pushed me right over the edge...our very first Christmas card of the season - woohoo!  Our sweet neighbor Katie put together CD's with holiday music - love, love, love it! 120408_first_christmas_card

And isn't their card super cute?  And this is the back-side...you should see the cute little guys on the other side! (thanks Katie!)

One more quick thing before I go to sleep - I wanted to share this little holiday project.

I bought the CD cases at Emma's Paperie (okay, I can't find them on there now...but I am pretty sure that's where they came from), and almost everything I used to embellish the case is from the Making Memories FaLaLa collection.
