I realized that one of the shrubs out front had stickers on it (the hard way). Not very sturdy or branchy but it works, after a fashion. Totally home made Gumdrop Tree. Kristi and the kids made the gumdrops.
The kiddios made it all the way to midnight. They loved the sparkling apple cider. Claire loved putting the fine stemware together. She did not however think it was funny when they kept falling apart. Pearce really liked holding them all fancy like, cupping the glass in one hand with two fingers on either side of the stem. That is except for the klinking ceremony as depicted.
