That is so pretty, why didn't I think of that I had many collectable pieces, but they got spread out to family members with young kids. Anyway what a great tradition you're starting with the bears. I got my tree & decorations done before Thanksgiving. That's why I wasn't on here for several days, I was finishing everything up. The only thing we left for Friday after was the tree ornaments, which we enjoyed with "choclotini's" (a mix we picked up at Target - yummy sweet choc/mint) Just my hubby & I, son & grandson on west coast. won't see for xmas - but did see grandson though for first time , who just turned a year. Here a few days Thanksgiving.
