2008 Festival of Trees

Scott’s parents and siblings decorate a tree each year in honor of his brother, Paul, who died while on active duty in the Air Force.  (You can see previous trees in our Archives.)  All proceeds from the Festival of Trees goes to charity care at Primary Children’s Medical Center in Salt Lake City.  This year our theme was “Dance Under the Stars”, because Paul and Michelle met in a ballroom dance class at BYU.  We made it a winter scene, so Santa and Mrs. Claus are having a dance outside in the garden in the snow.  We had 3 trees, each decorated in a different color-purple, fuschia, and turqoise, an arch, garden bench, and lamppost.  Here are some candids of the tree and the decorators.
