Festival of Trees and Parade

Every year Linda helps with the Festival of Trees and this year we actually were here to help. They had to cut back a lot this year due to the funds and lack of volunteers so we didn't have as much to do this year. They tried to focus on giving those in need this year so in order to get in you to bring a can a food. Cody and I decorated the area where the cans were put. It turned out really cute. Then I decorated one of the trees Linda was in charge of. Below is the tree I did.

On Saturday morning the Sigma Chi had Breakfast with Santa so we decided to go. Taylyn wanted nothing to do with Santa unless I went with her and then she stood long enough for a quick picture and a candy cane.

That afternoon they also had a huge parade. Taylyn had a blast. Her two favorite things about the parade were the car with Mickey and Minnie and the fact that her Lissa and Aiden were with us. It was a long parade but luckily it wasn't freezing cold.

The night of her birthday we took her back to the Festival of Trees with Melissa and her kids to see Santa.

She loved everything except Santa Claus as you can see from the pictures. 2007 looks much like 2008. The fact of the matter is Taylyn doesn't like Santa Claus.
