Signs of Christmas

This past Saturday, Trey's parents met us at the Franklin Park Conservatory. The Conservatory is absolutely stunning during the Christmas season; decorated with countless poinsettia's throughout. Several poinsettia 'trees'--the vibrant red contrasting well with the varying natural green foliage--tower throughout the conservatory. Amazing Gingerbread Houses decorate the corridor connecting the North and South Conservatories. Each house taking countless hours of thought and patience to create. The ones represented below are some of our favorites. And, finally, a train exhibit circles throughout a small 'town'; each feature created from wood and looking almost 'real'. The town lights look warm and inviting. My Dad's fascination for trains prompted me to take a closer look and watch as the engine rumbled over the covered bridge. I thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Franklin Park Conservatory.











































































































WOW--look at the detail given to these Gingerbread Houses--absolutely amazing!
