Last week for family game night Charles taught the kids to make home made pretzels. They also made a gingerbread house that my dad sent them. Then we finally finished decorated the Christmas tree.
In the picture of Charles you can see a few of our ornaments which made me think of a lovely blog idea to start going around. What are some of your most special tree decorations.
Here are a few of mine off the top of my head:
We always put my wedding bouquet (made by my sister) on the tree. It was a single poinsettia.
We have a photo ornament with a picture of Jonathan the moment he was born that says Jonathan's first Christmas
We have 2 ornaments that were made in 03 (Jon's first Christmas) where each of the kids put their hand print around the ornament in white paint, and I turned their fingers into snowmen.
We put both of the kids first bibles (those little Bibles they get at dedications) on the tree (one is pink and one is blue)
We have so many that are priceless. I always tear up at least once during tree decorating - just from the sweet memories:)
