Festival of Trees

At the end of November we headed downtown for some holiday excitement at the Festival of Trees.  I have always wanted to go to this event and we finally made it happen.
The trees we saw were awesome and inspired me.  Besides the trees on display there were also beautifully decorated wreaths, a HUGE interactive train village, and dance performances.
Brooklyn was all about the Latin dancers and was dancing right along with them.
Afterwards we kept with the Latin theme and went to a downtown Mexican restaurant for dinner.  We love trying out new restaurants downtown and have really good luck again, as this one did not disappoint.  Mexican restaurant are always nice for us as a family because the chips and salsa keep Brooklyn occupied and happy.
It turned out to be a fun festive night together as a family, one I hope to repeat each year.
