I wanted to post about our Christmas decorations, especially since it's a way for me to remember for years to come and because our families don't normally get to spend the holidays at our house.
Our Christmas tree.
A lot of people decorate and have certain themes, whether it's colors or a special type of ornament. Our theme would be memories. Most of our ornaments hold some type of memory.
N's new ornament from his Nana. He has a book that interacts with this ornament. It's pretty awesome.
My Christmas gift from Dave the first year we were married.
It says "Our First Christmas 2003".
A baby's first Christmas ornament.
The baby you see in there is Dave.
We have various ornaments from Dave's childhood.
A special nail ornament that we hang each year, reminding us that reason we celebrate.
Beautiful ornament from a wedding I was in 6 months to the day before we got married. Scott and Stephanie, it's crazy to think that it's been 8 years.
One of a few wedding ornaments we have.
This ornament will always remind me of shopping the after Christmas sales with my mom the Christmas before I got married.
A stocking I made with a bunch of my college girls the last Christmas season I spent at college.
A ornament that reminds me of the year that we got our little Westie, Annabelle.
An ornament from my sweet friend, Leslie Rae.
Gotta have some teacher ornaments on the tree.
Each year growing up, my Grandma got us an ornament like this one with our name and year engraved on them. When my house burned down when I was 16, we lost pretty much all of my ornaments, but some of them have been replaced.
We have these 3 ornaments that need pictures in them. I look forward to hanging them on our tree for years to come.
One of my student's parents gave me a group of ornaments one year that she made. Each one has a different character trait attached, like joy, patience, etc. I LOVE them. :)
A very special ornament for my cousin, Ryan, that died in a car accident when he was a teenager. I miss him and wish he were still here with us.
Another one of Dave's ornaments from his childhood.
A little monkey and marshmellow snowman that Dave and I bought for our first Christmas.
A cute ornament that is from Dave's childhood.
