This afternoon the kids and I made gumdrop trees to start off the Christmas season. (thanks for the idea, Natalie!) We all were involved -- Abigail ate more candy than she put on her tree, Annah did the biggest tree, while I did a medium and a small sized one and Jacob had the job of cutting toothpicks in half for us. Oh, Tim helped too.... he napped the whole time. :)
My sister sent me a make it yourself Christmas arrangement! She sent various pine branches, a basket lined with plastic, a piece of oasis to put the pine branches in, and pine cone and holly berry picks. It was quite clever! I put it together and it holds a place of honor -- next to the gumdrop trees -- on a table in the entryway. :) Thanks, Cretta! It smells like Christmas already. :)

Cute Gumdrop trees! What a great idea- I LOVE it!
You are in the swing of things! I love those trees and the basket of greenery! Looking a lot like Christmas around there! We had our tree set up before we left for CA and put some ornaments on it today. There sure is a feeling of the season when you start getting that stuff done. Tomorrow, outdoor lights!
Had to add one more thing, the "please" sign in the background, Still asking for a puppy???
