This year I wanted to do a little more than usual for Christmas decorating. We will actually be here for Christmas Day and then we are flying off to Texas. I usually don't do much for decorating, because we usually leave a week or even two before Christmas and stay gone after Christmas is over. So, I decided to do a candy land. I think I will add to the decorations every year and build up the collection. Many of these things are not hard, but are tedious and time consuming, especially the gumdrop tree. And, it took a lot more candy than I would have imagined.

Of course we have a Texas ornament
Kevin's ornament from when he was a child, these are very cool
Apple O's and peppermint trees
Peppermint garland over the mirror
This is our outdoor tree, furnished with giant peppermints, candy canes and large ornaments
Ribbon Candy, my favorite
Our first nativity scene, this is of course the real meaning of Christmas
Oh the gumdrop tree. 4 boxes (1 of which Kevin ate) later and lots of hot glue, this is Kevin's favorite. Merry Christmas everyone! I hope everyone has a wonderful time and that we all remember as cheesy as it sounds, "Jesus is the Reason for the Season". My sisters love it when I remind them of this as we all are pulling eachother's hair out because we for one slight minute forgot what life is about, love.

I love everything! There is a ton of work involved in decorating for the holidays and I'm with you, collect a little bit each year. By the time I'm 60 I'll have a winter wonderland!
