I loved seeing Nicole's tree in detail on her blog, so I'm borrowing her idea. The stories behind the ornaments are what I love about decorating the tree. I think my Mom says the same thing each year about some of the ornaments as we hang them. I captured just a few of the ornaments on my tree. The family Christmas tree is like reading a biography of my family's journey. Pet's we have had, trips we have taken, life events etc.
These little elve's hung on my Great-Grandmother's tree.
My Mom made these ornaments when she first got married.
This is my first ornament.
"That good old Baylor Line..." Many of my ornaments mark periods in my life, I have one ornament for each Christmas I spent away at school. Next year, Baylor....it's your year, I can feel it (just like myself and the rest of the Baylor community have been 'feeling that good season' coming on since the Cottonbowl game in the 1970's...Sic'Em Bears 
I try to find at least one ornament on vacation-this year was Jackson Hole, WY (along with the other 11 states we hit on the trip, I got one in each major location).
I buy at least one Christmas ornament a year (usually many more). These are the Hallmark 2007 Mother/Daughter Ornaments.
Great idea..I may steal it and put it on my blog. We are just starting our traditions with the boys and I have several little keepsake ornaments on the tree already.
ReplyDeleteYou know that I follow your train of thought on almost everything. Ever since I have had my own tree I started taking photos of the new ornaments for each year so I can chronicle when I got them, I never thought to put it on my blog though.
ReplyDeleteI got the blogging idea and showing an onament from Ella's blog. She took pictures of her 12 favorite Christmas objects, which I LOVED! The pictures I've been doing, you know me....because you know you. I have always said you and I are the most alike when it comes to sentimental things for sure!
