House of Trees

We went to House of Trees today, it was so much fun. The boys got to see Santa and Mrs. Claus. We had a small photo op with them :-)
The boys also got to write letters to Santa to be mailed at Santa's Workshop and Santa will respond to them within 10 days, how cool? They didn't have this stuff when I was little!

There were some really nice trees this year, and some were already sold when we got there an hour and fifteen mins after it opened. It's a bidding process, however if you bid 2.5 times the minimum bid the tree, wreath, or centerpiece is yours! So nice to see so many people in our community coming out to support House of Trees and Relay for Life. Here are a few shots of trees and our centerpiece, we already have a bid on ours, and I'm thrilled, so glad the money goes to a good cause, and it was fun to pick out! Someone had the Santa bucket last year and I looked everywhere for them, and couldn't find them, this year I spotted them at Michael's and I was thrilled, so I bought one for our home and one for House of Trees.

We had a great time, and both boys were really good! EE felt well enough to go, so that made me happy!

Our little Elf has been up to no good. I'm hoping to do a post tomorrow on that lil turkey!!!
