Christmas Tree Festival

Every Christmas there is usually a Christmas tree display in the atrium of the hospital, this year the event was moved to the Enmax Centre!!! With it being at the Enmax they were able to incorporate more activities.  Monday was Family Night meaning that it was free to go and look at all the beautifully decorated trees, skate with the Hurricanes, make crafts, have a snack and hot chocolate and visit with Santa!!!! When we first arrived there were a million people there and I didn't think we would even get to see the Christmas trees. So we stood in line for Santa first and to my surprise the line moved at a rather steady pace!! The kids were so good while waiting.

Armin was especially cute with Santa!!! Very animated and totally engaged!!! Calum was a little nervous and wouldn't look at Santa, but he did sit with him!! Emry stood beside and was just fine until he talked to her then she got a little embarrassed!!!

The Christmas trees were beautiful! The businesses that decorated them did an exceptional job, each one was different and beautiful in its own way!! Some of my favourites were:

Disney Frozen inspired tree!!!

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas!

Music Inspired!

This was a wedding dress inspired tree!  For some reason I loved it!! Maybe it was the fact it had burlap in it!!

It was a really fun night and made even more fun because Myrna came with us!! Our kids just adore her, Calum sat beside her in the van and talked the entire time, and he gave her hugs periodically through the night and said he loved her!!! It was a great way to kick off the Christmas Season!!!!!
