Some of my Favorite Christmas Ornaments

Some of my favorite Christmas ornaments over the years are...


This was a gift from my niece right after Bailey was born. Even though it has my ex’s name on it, I couldn’t part with it. We think it’s cute and put it on our tree each year. My sister bought us a new one in 2006 with just our names on it. 


This red boot is a handmade ornament from my childhood. My name is written on the bottom in my mother’s handwriting. There were three of them all together that we made, one for my brother, one for my sister, and this one for me
.




This red basket and the mailbox one below were made by Bailey’s grandmother who we never had the chance of meeting as she died in 1987. Even though we didn’t know her it gives us a sense of her being part of our family

  4. Love your ornaments! What wonderful memories!
    Our tree has ornaments of the places that we have been and even ornaments that the kids made in elementary school. They laugh about them now, but they always put them on the tree. :)

  6. One of the hard things about being a child of divorce is that your family is no longer represented. Photos are put away. Stories are not told. Keeping the ornament is healthy for her.
