Stories On Our Tree

the ornaments don't match or coordinate even...

they are a collection of years...

vacation memories, 

family milestones,

each one has a story

Ornaments I made as a child...amazing how they've
stood the test of time!

 always one of my favorites from my family tree growing up

made by a friend from church long ago, 

I love the words that go with it

Breaking up, Making up

Childbirth, First steps

Growing pains, Growing Old

Hellos and Goodbyes...

Life is a mixture of Love and Pain

Pretty, but handle with care

For it can snag you and not let go

Like Love

~Pamela Rowe

the first ornament I gave to Tom when we were engaged

celebrating our home

my favorite flute Angel

the "replacement" Disney ornament

from our 25th Anniversary trip

(still have never found the original ornament I purchased there)

precious reminder that 

Miracles do Happen

to those who believe!

One of my favorite Christmas pastimes is to sit quietly in my tree-lit living room

reflecting on the stories on our tree...
