  1. In the interest of saving time and not forgetting to come back every day, I will vote all three of my votes today. I can not pick a favorite, so I will give one vote each to The Portzlands, The Bumbaughs and The Plowmans. Great job to all you industrious people.

  6. I tried but my vote is for the pine cone ornament. I liked that all of these kiddos tried and they are all nice. The reason I picked the pine coat is because it is a gift for her grandad... That is hat Christmas is all about!!!
