Christmas Pineapples

I got the fun pineapple idea from this blog, Creative Holiday Gift Ideas

I tweaked it a little and did some research on the Internet to make sure pineapple really did represent hospitality, prosperity and good will. (It does.) So this is what the kids gave to their teachers this year and we gave to friends and neighbors. We've had a fun time passing them out.

This little boy has to miss his Christmas party at school today because he has a fever. He doesn't look sick in this photo thanks to Motrin (berry flavor - thank you very much). We buy it in bulk at Costco these days. It is so great to live at a time when there are so many medicines easily available to us.

Here's a picture of one fine helper boy!! I love this age.....he wants to help so much and he is a hard worker. Interesting part about him going through this stage is that he really has a lot of energy and he can get into trouble so quickly.......he's curious....he just wants to see how things work....and what would happen if he stuck a stick in the lock in the door........ or what's inside the Christmas decorations. He's always sorry, he can say it really well. The thing is he'd still do it again given the chance....but it's not maliciousness.....just curiosity. I've taken to calling him curious George. Even given all that, he was a tremendous help last night getting goodies and packages ready to take out.

On the right you can see the hands of my main carmel cutter and wrapper(my DH). If it wasn't for him our Christmas carmel tradition would not be a tradition.
THANK YOU for your help!
