| Ornament talking about our beautiful flowers |
This will be my last week of blogging in 2013 since I'm taking two weeks off after this week to celebrate the birth of Christ. SO---I'll spend this week sharing our Christmas here at home with you. I am one who absolutely loves Christmas ---so I hope you enjoy seeing my posts this week.
Today, I'll share with you one of George's and my favorite traditions ---the collection of ORNAMENTS. When George and I got married, we had 'his' and 'her' Christmas decorations.. So, we decided to exchange ornaments each year as part of our Christmas to each other. We give silly ones, romantic ones showing our love, ones from trips we take, and ones portraying interests that we have. Opening our ornaments is definitely a highlight of each Christmas.
It's hard to 'pick and choose' since there are SO many great ones. So---this year I've divided the ornaments into three groups (Favorites from 2012, Favorite Special Ones through the Years, and Favorite Trip Ornaments). Hope you enjoy seeing some of our memories... Be sure and click on the photos for enlargements. The first group shows some of our 'funny' and/or 'unique' or 'special' Ornaments. The above ornament shows a HUGE part of our lives ---our love for Roses and all of our beautiful flowers.

I'll close showing a collage I did a year ago showing two more special ornaments of ours, a computer and a cellphone... Aren't they cute???? AND--they are sooooooo US--since we use both of them ALOT. ha
As you can tell, ornaments are very special to George and me. When we decorate the tree each year, it is so much fun just re-living the memories. Our Christmas tree is definitely a 'hodge-podge' tree FULL of MEMORIES... We love it!!!
Hope you enjoyed seeing some of our little ornaments today. There are many other special ornaments such as my bird collection and the angels... BUT--that will have to come in another post!!!!!
Have a wonderful day.
