3rd Annual Gumdrop Tree Making



















Well this is my 3rd Annual Gumdrop Tree Making Celebration. This year I invited a great friend Niki and her kids over to play while we had fun. This is an idea I got from Martha when she was young in one of her holiday books. Immediately when I saw I knew it had to be one of my new Traditions. I love it and they look fabulous for our Christmas Eve party. I usually make 2 for myself, but I figure we will be in Vancouver for Christmas & I will have to splurge and make another one up there. It's also fun to make patterns with the gumdrops. I bought the tree foam at Michael's reg. 14.99 and then the gumdrops I bought 8 bags and that was the perfect amount for both Niki's and mine.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

Addi's 1st Birthday!

Lake Las Vegas "Tree Lighting"

Well my dad came into town and with Wayne's family we all drove down to Lake Las Vegas and listened to live music while drinking our free peppermint hot chocolate & homemade apple cider, both were fantastic! Alix however at the end of the night tripped on the pavers and took a spill on her face, that left her two big scabs above her right eye. She kept telling people that the fire burned her. She is so funny! What a gal she is!
