festive (al)

Today's festivities were wrapped up in going to see my sister perform at the Festival of Trees.  I haven't been to this event in nearly 20 years, and while I'm not a huge fan of the new (er) venue (it's big and open and loud) it was still pretty darn cool.  Oddly enough I didn't get to see a great many trees.  Must have something to do with being a mother of small children.  We did, however get familiar with the kids craft corner.  And the gingerbread houses.  I have secret ambitions of becoming a master gingerbread architect someday.  That and I want to learn how to make real fudge, and how to knit more than just rectangles, and if I'm honest I have a whole boatload of secret ambitions.  They won't all pan out, but hopefully a few of them will and I'll remember to enjoy it.  Remind me next time to have someone else take my picture so I can remember I was there.
