Beginning our Christmas Celebrations
A couple of weeks ago some friends invited us to go with them to a BYU Christmas Party. At the party Ellie got to play some games and we all got pictures taken with the Santa Cosmo.

Ellie was excited to see Cosmo from far away but was nervous when we got close.

Ellie and I also went to the Festival of Trees in Salt Lake with My mom and my sister Jessie. Ellie loved looking at all of the trees and the displays around the trees.

For those of you who don't know the festival of trees is a display of hundreds of Christmas Trees. They are fun to look at but the whole thing is put on to benefit Primary Children's hospital in Salt Lake City. This hospital helps kids who are really sick and never turns anyone away even if they can't pay. All of the trees are donated then auctioned off. Some of these trees are sold for thousands of dollars. It is a great Christmas time activity and it benefits children.
