The Family Christmas Tree

Like many family Christmas trees ours has lots of ornaments...

 and all have a special meaning.

  Our collection of ornaments grow each year...  

Our Christmas Tree 2010

The Star that has been at the top of our tree for almost 17 years...

A favorite hobby...

A first movie in a movie theater...

A beautiful hand painted ornament...

A favorite family vacation...

A reminder of loved ones who have passed...

A favorite childhood memory...

The train that always runs beneath the tree...

The special nativity....

I love our family Christmas tree!!!

You may find me on a December night with only the tree lights on, sitting under a cozy blanket admiring the tree....reflecting on all the memories of the past years, the present day joys and memories yet to be made...

Just like my Mom use to do...

I hope my kids will carry on the tradition...

I'm linking to Sarah's Christmas tree party today!  Make sure to stop by and see all the Christmas tree fun!
