Every Year, David and I go to Draper Convention Center and spend hours wandering through this huge place strolling up and down isles of decorated Christmas trees. The first weekend in December every year people donate these trees, sometimes complete with furniture, TV, basketball tickets, and more things than you can think of. WHY? They do this as a fund raiser for Primary Children's Hospital. Companies and wealthy individuals come to bid on them the week before, with price tags in the thousand's. Then they go on display for one weekend, and then are delivered to the winner of the bid. Most of the trees are donated in behalf of someone who has passed on before us - many of them children with heart wrenching stories. We ooh and ahh at the trees, stop to read some of the stories, shed a tear for the unknown individual who has come to life for us, and then move on to the next tree. This year they had some awesome ginger bread houses as well. Take a look...
This little girl has to be hooked up to a ventilator every times she falls asleep as she stops breathing. Makes us count our blessings.
Yes, this train is gingerbread
Gingerbread again!
