The Tree and Ornaments

Our tree is an artificial tree that we purchased from Costco this year.

 

This Disney ornament was our first as a couple. It was a wedding shower gift in 1974, the year we were married.

These older ornaments have been around since the 80’s and beyond.

The walnut half with a baby was a Sunday School craft made by one of our kids but I’m unsure which one.

The two Beatrix Potter ornaments and the others are from England except for the birds.

The Stag was from Addy and the Christmas tree was painted by JJ. The handprint is Addy’s.

This one is from Addy, too.

I’ll share the rest of our decor on another day this week.

Our Children’s Christmas Play at church this year was so well done and it was a delight to watch it. I’ll share some photos later this week.

  1. Love your memory tree – it’s beautiful inspite of not being the famous “mystery” tree – smile! Mine is very small and has a small gathering of “new” memories for this new and uncharted season of my life … Enjoy this last week till the big day.

  2. I love that you have so many memories with the ornaments. We have our children make ornaments every year and I love looking through the ones from years gone by.

  3. I love it. The tree is gorgeous. Your house looks beautiful. I have several ornaments from Europe that I bought years ago but don’t use them anymore.

  4. Ellen, your tree is beautiful! And those ornaments are precious. I love the ones especially from Addy and JJ. The ones from England are gorgeous! I love Beatrix Potter so those especially caught my attention. I’ll look forward to seeing pictures later this week of more decor and also pictures from the Children’s Christmas program. Have a wonderful week, my friend!

  5. Ellen – this is a precious post. We have so many ornaments that were made when the kids were young, and we have saved a few for our son to add to the tree when he arrives from Idaho Falls on Friday (Mom and Dad are SO excited!). Most of our ornaments have memories – that is why it takes so long for us to decorate the tree! Thanks for visiting my blog and for your comment! Our Savior is almost here!
