    Laura, "What would you put it on?" Monicas, "A spoon!" I love this on so many levels!!!

      I came to tears when Laura asked Monica “what would you put it on” and Monica’s response was “a spoon”🥹. My baby sister passed away 3 years ago and like Monica, Laura and Mom, Christmas shopping for the 3 of us together was a given every year, the response from Monica is exactly what my sister would have said 😂😂😂👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️Thank you Laura and family for this episode🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🍸🍸🍸🍸

    Suddenly, this early morning, I teared up when ya'll arrived at Franz Witty upon hearing ya'll interact with one another...it brought back such fond memories of my mother, her two sisters and their mother, my grandmother, as they all loved and shared interest in beautiful gardens! I accompanied them on most of their outings together from a very early age until after high school. Growing up west of Portland in the 70s and 80s was a magical time, and I'm the most privileged person, like Benjamin and Samantha Grace, to have had the childhood I did!! What a wonderful connection ya'll gave me, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

It’s a joy to see the three of these gals enjoying the holidays together. They are making the joyful memories! So glad for them and that they generously share these moments with us! 🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏💚💚💚❤️❤️❤️🌲🌲🌲

      🙋🏻‍♀️. Especially the Christopher Radko Santa’s! I’ve been collecting CR since 2010 - we have a special tree with just those ornaments on it. I kept saying “two hands!” 👀 she needs the special clip hangers for them to ensure they don’t fall off the tree.

    I have been a florist for 39 years and still to this day, every time I walk in a cooler at a wholesale house, it blows me away! Not only is the cooler amazing, but the supply section is awesome as well. "Kid in a candy store!" Laura, I am not sure you could hear me... but I was yelling, "Check out the butterfly section!" LOL! I just love your shopping trips with Monica and your mom!♡

    I have adult children now, when they were born we started a tradition of going each year as a family to each pick out an ornament in early December. They started their adult life with a set of 18 varied ornaments and a handful that I gave them over the years. We continue the tradition now with my grandsons who are 5&7. It is one of my families favorite traditions each year.

    Hey Laura. I've been collecting Christopher Radko ornaments for almost 40 year's. Yes, they are expensive but each one are hand painted and blown into a mold . Most of them were originally made in Europe and are collectable . They retire the molds after so many year's. I think I have around 100 of them. We put them on a 9ft tree and the sunlight shines on the tree through the window in the morning and all that glitter and brilliant paint just glisten. I look forward to hanging them every year. By the way, love your videos and always look forward to seeing them. I've been following you for years and have learned so much. Hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas! Enjoy your ornaments. Buddy.

    When my daughter married I had her come over and pick out all her childhood ornaments and other favorite decorations. Hubby didn't have much to add so she created some for him using pictures and other memory items she got from his sister. They had a very sweet first christmas tree. That was 21 years ago. She's continued the ornament tradition for her girls for when they leave home.

    Ornaments are a great wedding gift! I often give a beautiful Nativity Scene as a wedding shower gift. Year after year, I get pictures of couples setting up their Nativity during the Christmas season. It seems to be a treasured gift.

    I found the Santa tree ornaments and fell in love with the entire range - especially their 50s style decorations. Already emailed to check they will ship to the UK

    @5:32 That right there, shows how good of a mom your mom is and how big her heart is... so sweet. She didn't want to grab the ornament, knowing that Monica had already been looking for one. It's like when your child is young and trying to help you with something, and you know that you could get it finished a lot faster, but they want to do it themselves, or they have already been trying so hard... There's the mom's that finish it and say "I got it, I can do it faster!" & the moms that stand there patiently waiting for them to finish, so that their efforts isnt lost, and so they can learn and grow... 🥰
    *and then she tops it off by saying all kids should have the experience of putting tinsel on a tree... oh my goodness! I love her so much! I hope that I am half the mom she is! & she's not even my mom! lol

    I just love your shopping trips. My two daughters and I do the same sort of thing whenever we can. It’s such a wonderful way to spend time together. And…I’m pretty sure I bought the same set of wooden ornaments as on Monica’s tree when we were just newly married. I still put them up every year: lots of good memories encapsulated in those wee things.

    My very favorite thing, watching today's shopping trip with Monica and your Mom, is how you three go through plant nurseries and shops, and call every plant by its scientific name!! I laugh out loud, knowing I would be saying, "the curly dark green thing with berries!" This video is such fun!

    How fun, thanks for sharing! One idea for your beautiful wrapping paper is to cut out the individual balloons and put each paper section into separate small picture frames to make small frame ornaments for your tree. You showed how to use small picture frames on a tree years ago (I’ve put the fronts of cards that I love in some). 😊

    Aaaah yes! Christopher Radko ornaments are beautiful (and pricey), but definitely a collectors item! I have several, and love them!
    Thanks for letting us tag along on your shopping trip and join in your fun! Love to be around Monica and your mom! Monica’s “a spoon” response, had me spit out my coffee! Hilarious! 😂
    Loved seeing Monica’s house all decorated for Christmas…you girls have such good taste!
    What is your mom going to use that beautiful green ribbon for? Anyone else keep checking to see if she still had her brooch on? 😅

      Christopher Radko ornaments are beautiful. This year I bought the fawn snowman. I try to buy one a year, but we don’t live in an area that have stores that carry them. Also love the Shiny Bright vintage ornaments.

      I love these shopping videos! So fun to see Monica and Mom with Laura. My husband and I immediately recognized the Radko ornaments and then realized Laura had no idea on the price! We lived near a store that had quite the Radko collection and they would hold a wreath making class to use the broken ornaments. (The damaged sections could easily be hidden in the greens.) Always thought that was a clever idea because for collectors, it's bound to happen!

    Money is good to have but family means so much. Love seeing the three of you together, Monica is so natural, as Laura and mom. Such a wonderful treat. Do you know you all three echo each other’s words, love it, so special. I never had a sister but I really miss my mom, I love seeing your mom and her interaction with her girls.
