The Vegtable of Trees

Here is Kirsten at the Vegtable of Trees as she calls it (really the Festival of Trees) in Salt Lake. A lady did a tree in honor of my dad so my mom and LeAnne went up to see it and Kirst went with them. Later that week, we had planned to go up and Jannika got the flu. Well, we thought the other kids might get it too but we decided to go anyway. We did have a nice time at the Festival and went on up into the city to see the lights at Temple Square and Claire got sick. So I stayed in the car with her while Kyle took the other kids out to see the lights for a few minutes. Then on the way home Kirsten got sick too. I will spare you the details of our looooong stinky ride home and just say that we are stronger for having that experience and we will listen to our instincts next time!

I love the tree they did in honor of you Dad! How great! I had a friend die a year ago while she delivered her 2nd baby, and her sisters did a tree for her. I didn't make it this year. I am bummed.

What a neat thing for your dad! I'm so sorry your trip didn't work out well! Nothing is worse than the flu - except when they are sick in the car! I hope everyone is getting better!

I went to the festival and didn't see a tree in honor of your dad:( I should have looked harder! Bumber. Well, I am glad that you got to go and see it. Sorry about the long car ride home...that doesn't sound fun. But I hope that you had a wonderful christmas and a happy new year!
