I love to see their determination in placing each ornament just right.
These trees are decorated with the ornaments we used when our kids were growing up.
M&M's are used for his sparkly blue eyes. A Cheeto makes a fine carrot looking nose with tiny chocolate chips for his mouth. To keep his neck nice and warm, a scarf made out of Yogurt strips does the trick... 
Chocolate covered graham crackers cut diagonally makes a great top hat. Serve him with Hot cocoa :0)
As our little three old year say's in his deep voice, "It is yummy for my tummy!"

What a lovely tradition Beth! The little wooden characters look so sweet. :-)
great that you are passing on the Christmas Joy. :-)
Oh, you're so sweet - thank you! :)
Your list is wonderful and so is this post - your little ones, the snowman (which I'm going to make for some of the little ones in our family) and the pictures. I can just *feel* the warmth - I love visiting you :)
Hi Beth,
What adorable little trees. I loved them grouped together like that. Also those little wooden ornaments are delightful! What a cute snowball!
Congratulations on your Christmas award!!
I l♥ve the trees! Thank you so very much for the award! You are a sweetheart! ♥ Hugs :) Shauna
I love your "3 trees"... you DO have the book, don't you? I am sure you do!
I always love coming to your blog! I can't wait to have grandchidren!!!
Love the trees. Love the girl. Love the snowman and love the award. Thanks. I am a true believer and in love with Christmas.
What a wonderful tradition! I love the snowmen faces...those were cute! The tree turned out beautiful! BTW, because you said you live by Lonna, then that must mean you know our old neighbors the Danielson's. They used to live in our ward! Small world!
Thank you for stopping by my blog and your well wishes and prayers they are greatly appreciated!
Merry Christmas Beth!!!!

Oh, Beth, I'm so honored! :-) You, my sweet friend, are the darling!
And l love your trees! And look at those precious girls decorating them! Just adorable. :-)
I love your list, too, Beth. You really do have the spirit of Christmas and a sweet spirit it is!
I want to do my list on Saturday if that's okay??? I want to give it some thought and not rush through it with all the craziness going on. Speaking of craziness, be safe on your trip! And have a wonderful time at the wedding! :-)
XO,
Sheila
Oh how I wish that i was your neighbor. I feel so blessed to have your "blog" friendship. You are one inspiring person. You are always inspired to say the words that my heart needs to hear.
Yes, this is such a scary thing. I went to the Dr. and he was terribly rude and told me that he thinks that it is a tension headache and I need to do exercises. I almost yelled! Instead I talked very sternly and backed it all up with facts. the bad thing-he couldn't answer not one of my questions.
I left there feeling more frustrated than ever. Frustrated because I thought that I was going to get an answer. Instead-I got another door slam.
I have been to two Dr's today-both of which have not really helped me.
it's days like these that I wonder why this is happening and why did the Lord pick me to do it.
Then I stop and think, and realize that it could be much worse. Much harder. I realize that he has faith in me and he trusts me to learn something from this trial. He send me people who help my heart-like you.
Your words were truly inspired. Your care is not unnoticed and your sweet friendship is truly a blessing.
Thank you for the comfort. One can never have too many prayers or too many friends!
Thanks again!
A forever friend
Your grandkids are so cute, and the trees look great!
Congratulations on the awards!
Diane
Such a cute idea to have a tree for the little ones to decorate. And I'd help them if I got one of those super cute snowmen treats!!!Thanks so much for the Christmas love! You're the best!
Thank you, Beth! You are just too sweet and humble me greatly.
I am rushed this weekend, but I will chat with you later. Enjoy the wedding festivities with your neice.
Blessings to your entire family!
Jen
I can certainly feel the love in your heart as you write about your grandchildren...They are indeed a blessing, aren't they?
I know that your heart will be truly filled with the spirit of Christmas as it was meant to be :)
I feel that warmth of joy here and so I fully agree that your blog is SPIRIT FILLED :)
What a sweet post Beth! I love the idea of having trees for the kids to decorate! I think I might use that tradition! And what a beautiful tree you have.
Love the little cheetah shirt she's wearing! Your garland in the previous post is pretty too...and I LOVE the Santa boots!
You have such great ornaments! You are the nicest to let them play with the tree every time they come.
What a cute snowman. I must try that! Thanks for the award. So awesome. As soon as I get a chance, I'll post it. :)
If only I could go back and re-live my girls youth one more time .. it goes by so fast. Christmas just isn't what it used to be.
The pictures you took are magical and will be cherished for years to come. Now pass one of those treats over here, will you please?
Merry Christmas!
Sharon
