We always love The Festival of Trees! I made it there three times this year!
They have a fancy gala on Friday night that is corporately sponsored. I have always wanted to go, but tickets aren't available to the general public. My brother Phil was picking up Hadley on a Friday afternoon and mentioned that they had two extra tickets for that night if we wanted them. Well I have four kids, no babysitter, I look terrible, I have nothing to wear, Josh is in Champaign, and it's in less than two hours, so I said there was no way I could pull that off... well long story short, we did pull it off! I don't think we could have planned that if we tried!
Men were required to wear a suit and tie, which Josh was not excited about, but he humored me, and even though I had a great time, I think he had even more fun than I did!
Olivia Chew came to babysit at the last second and even brought shoes for me to borrow; how is that for a babysitter?
I always like to get Jacob's picture with Mrs. Claus because she held him at this event when he was just days old!
Lucas had a blast with Rudolph, showing him how to put his nose through the hole for a picture:
Aunt Sherry was there selling fudge, so Hannah got to dance with her:
Mom and I took the little ones during the day after Tuesday school:
