I love Christmas ornaments that evoke memories of yesteryear.

Each year, as I drag my boxes of ornaments up from the basement, huffing and puffing,

I am excited to begin the process of decorating our tree with memories again this year..

My daughters have made many ornaments over the years, mostly in grade school.

The thumbprint snowman from preschool always touched my heart-

The gingerbread man scribbled with marker,

the 5 years together ornament always puts a smile on my face-

it was an ornament for a couple being together for 5 years

but she was 5 and was with us for 5 years! too sweet

My mom gave the girls an ornament each year, with their name and date so those are precious momentos we cherish.

She started the shoe collection for the girls

The teapot collection-

The Wizard of Oz collection-

This family tree is one of my favorites!

As you decorate your tree this holiday season, I hope special memories

are putting a smile on your face too!

Make some memories for your family-

Take care, gotta fly-

Bless My Nest
