Christmas is probably the most magical time of the year for little children. Skyler's favorite word all month has been Santa! I know she has really enjoyed looking at all the tree ornaments and bright colorful lights these past few weeks.
Tom & I started collecting ornaments about 4 years ago and last year, we included Skyler in this wonderful family Christmas tradition. Friends and family have helped us by purchasing ornaments especially for our Sweet Pea. I'm hoping as the years go by, it will be a quite magical taking out those ornaments we've had for years. I'm positive that each time we unearth them and unwrap them, memories of the past will bubble up and we'll soak in those good times! Scroll down with me as we look over 2009 and the most current Christmas ornaments.
Skyler received this personalized ornament from Glammey & Papa and just couldn't wait to place it on our tree. She's been such an Angel these past weeks leading up to Jesus' birth. She doesn't touch the ornaments or disturb the presents underneath!
This next ornament was purchased in memory of our first Family Reunion......Tennessee! Auntie Cheryl & Uncle Charles just mailed a John Deere tractor ornament for Sky, since she just loved their Farm so much! I'll be sure to include a picture once it arrives.

Ornaments are a great way to bring family history into your Christmas. Tom & I have enjoyed collecting ornaments from our trips together and for our anniversary. It's just fun to write down the meaning of each ornament as we accumulate them. Here's to all the wonderful memories we'll now start to log with Skyler, especially those hand made ones!
