Festival of Trees


Decorating a tree for the Festival of Trees has been such a great experience!!   The theme we chose for our tree was the Cinder"Ella" tree in memory of the little Princesses and Princes who are with us for such a short time, but make such a big impact on our lives.  What a great way to celebrate those little ones and the families who are touched by them.  The tree was beautiful!  We received $646.00 in donations and the staff involved in decorating the tree went to work to find Princess-y decorations.  The tree looked magical when it was all decked out and I am sure every little girl who saw it would have loved to have all the Cinderella toys, dress-up clothes, movie and decorations that were included!  We so appreciate all the love that was shown through the donations!  Thank you for helping us to participate in the Festival of Trees!

 Five beautiful and amazing women created the vision of the Cinder"Ella" tree and made the vision come to life!


 They worked hard to make sure it looked amazing!


All the decorations had to be wired on.  (There are a lot of things to learn about decorating a tree for Festival of Trees!)


 Here are some of the items that went under the tree to complete the package.


The final product, after months of planning, weeks of searching for just the right decorations and hours of putting it all together.

By the way, our tree sold on the first night of the Festival of Trees!  Yay!  All proceeds go to help the little ones at Primary Children's Hospital.

  1. Wonderful! The Tree looks great! Primary Children's is a great place, we are lucky to have it in Utah.

    This is also an EI kid (my son) who stayed at Primary's last year, and this is the service project we started after his PICU stay: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ben-Gives-Back
