Putting up the tree

( these 3 glass ornaments I have had for 45 years! )

(This was yesterday)


As I am decorating my tree I’m reminded (once again) how very dear this whole Christmas/Family thing is to my heart. Each and every ornament holds a separate and special memory. I have come to the conclusion (once again) that the people you share the most memories with are the ones who own the key to your heart!

Truth is, though, my tree decorating each year serves to remind me how very dear each and every member of my family are to me....and of all the ways we are bound together and will always remain so!

After I completed the tree today, both Charles and my son Chris said it’s the prettiest we’ve ever had! :)

Here it is-in all it’s glory!

(sorry my pics didn't turn out so great...)









I feel great to have accomplished this without breaking ANY of my ornaments! I often have, and it’s always a sad happening!

...Maybe my broken Santa will be the only casualty this time! That santa didn’t hold a lot of sentimental feelings concerning my kids or grands- as it was one that I had bought for myself in recent years. (Still, I hope to repair him!)

Close up views of some of our ornaments/memories!
