Fantasy of Trees

This was our 2nd annual trip to the Fantasy of Trees as a family. We went on Black Friday so it was really crowded. Eli and Emma were sooo excited because their school, Amherst Elementary, decorated a tree. Emma actually made one of the ornaments for the tree. This is her picking out "her ornament":

Eli and Emma were given $4.oo each to pick the activites that they wanted to do. They both picked the same things. They went to the Santa hat booth first:

Then they went to the Jingle Bell ornaments. This was cute because they could draw on the bell. It was messy because the pen was a sharpie!

While Eli and Emma were at the different booths Edan was getting some love from his Papaw!:
Edan loves his papaw sooo much! Since Eli and Emma did an ornament for their tree, I thought Edan could do one too! So here we go to the thumbprint ornament booth! This is Edan putting his thumbprint on a snowflake ornament:

His thumbprint looks like a big smear! Oh well, it will be a special ornament on their tree!

The most fun that Eli, Emma, and Edan had was on the carousel. They wanted to ride it over and over again! Edan and I rode on a bench. He liked it!

After we had fun on the carousel we took a tour around the gingerbread houses. They were truly amazing. Brent said we should try to do a fancy one this year instead of buying the boxed set. By the end of the night we were tired, but the boys wanted to go and see the train. Here is Randy, Eli, and Edan in the caboose of the train:

I love the Fantasy of Trees! It is a great way to get in the spirit of Christmas!
