Every year I have wanted to take pictures of all of my special ornaments and put them in a scrapbook. Tonight I started taking pictures and realized "Hmm, they are ALL special to me". So I'll share a few of ALL my ornaments with you.
This was a wedding gift from my friend Emily Reil. It is the first ornament that goes on the tree every year. Peter and I both put it on together. {After that it's pretty much chaos!}
As most of you can probably tell this is Megan. She made this Angel in Kindergarten.
This is Hannah's Hand-A-Clause. All three girls ( Katey, Megan and Hannah) made these. This was in 2000. Might I add - this was when when I only had 3 children and my sanity still intact.
And this is Katey in Grade 3, 2002.
This strawberry is special because it's an ornament we had on the tree when I was growing up. Not sure who made it or when we got it, but I ended up with it!
Now if I was a really organised and frequent blogger {phhht!} I could have done an "ornament of the day" type of post. But since we all know I'm neither, I decided to share them all tonight. So I apologise if I bored anyone to tears, although at the same time I'm giggling at the thought!

I think it is sweet that you wanted to share with us those special ornaments. I love things that keep those special memories alive!
cat :)
how nice... how did you get that strawberry anyway? and what happened to all the other ornaments we had growing up...? Mom... if you're reading this, I hope you didn't throw them away...
Oh, oh - now I'm in trouble. That strawberry was made by my visiting teachers, although I can't remember which ones. I just really liked it too so it survived the "purge". Come on girls, you know I am the world's worst dejunker.....sorry!!! Now I realise how important memories are, but at the time they are just "stuff" as you have the real thing. I do how a few old and ends Amanda...but if you remember I always had a "theme" for the christmas tree and it changed on a regular basis.
Slap my pinkies.....
