Every year we go with our friend Erie to check out the Festival of Trees at the Fairmont Empress Hotel (have I ever mentioned that we stayed there on our wedding night? Oh... I have? Well did I mention how lovely it was?) We had fun this year looking at all the trees. Some of them were a bit over the top.

Edward Cullen makes quite the brooding snowman, doesn't he? (and no, I didn't steal one off the tree to take home!)

Dylan liked this tree that had a phone box direct to the North Pole. You could call and leave Santa a message!

The construction site tree is always a hit with my boys.

They thought the Toy Story tree was pretty cool, too.

The Olympic Torch tree was sort of lame, but I had to take a photo, didn't I?

Quatchi will soon be all over our televisions and billboards, as the Winter Olympics come to Vancouver in just a few months. I figured I needed to show you all what our mascot looks like!

Sawyer loved this carousel. He loved it so much he busted one of the horses right off it when I was looking the other way. Oh dear! I did my best to reattach it and we got out of there quick!

Christmas must be so magical through the eyes of a two-year old.
