Snowflakes From Heaven

This week, I went with a group of women from my church and we decorated a Christmas tree for The Baby Fold’s 14th Annual Festival of Trees.  We had a great time together.

The Christmas trees, 4′ and 7′, along with a gingerbread village, wreaths, centerpieces and celebrity trees are all auctioned off to support the children and families of The Baby Fold.  They also have performers and special events throughout the 5 day event.  It is one of our favorite family traditions for Christmas.  My kids really enjoy the Jingle Bell Junction, where they have all kinds of kids activities…Santa even makes an appearance and there are sugar cookies from the Cookie Shop.

This is our finished tree…Snowflakes From Heaven.  My son has a field trip Friday morning and I am excited for him to see the tree and our family will be going on Friday evening.
