Festival of Trees

Three of the four kids in our family performed at the Festival of Trees this year. First Ana and Miriam performed with Bonneville ballroom, and then Rebekah filled in on tuba for a local group called Roundabout Brass. Seth, Grandma Susan, Grandpa Dennis, Grandma and Grandpa Scott and I watched the ballroom on Monday, November 14. Winnie and I watched the brass group on Thursday, November 17.
