Every year as I unpack the trees (4) of them, I love getting out all of the ornaments and remembering where we got them and the story behind them. I took some pictures of a few special ones and tell the story behind them.
Last year a mom gave me this ornament with all the kids in my class. This is super special and I won't ever forget this class.
This ornament is from our first nearly wed newly wed sunday school class. lots of fun with those guys from Lake pointe.
Trey's first christmas. His room was noah's ark so this was a special ornament for him.
Of course, since we have brainwashed our children into thinking Texas Tech is the GREATEST school ever we have an entire Texas Tech Christmas tree.
When Trey was 2 and I was pregnant with Travis and in the hospital on bedrest on Christmas, Trey loved buzz lightyear. All he would talk about was buzz lightyear. I snuck out of the hospital and came home to see him open his buzz lightyear. so of course, I had to buy an ornament for that year.
This ornament is special to me because it represents a family still together. After a rough year of marriage, by God's grace we are all still one.
Robert and I got married on Dec 19th , 1992 and our first christmas together we got this ornament for our first christmas.
Of course, only a mother would love these ornaments. Travis was in first grade.
This was from Robert's first real job out of college, every year I put it on the tree I remember how grateful we were for his paycheck.
Trey was so proud of his missing teeth in this picture.
This sweet ornament is from a lady who I taught with in Plano, she knew she was dying and visited San Francisco and bought us ornaments. She said she wanted us to remember her every christmas. I remember Mildred and her sweet sweet spirit and her love for the Lord every christmas.
Awana Cubbies. I remember all the verses, patches and proud moments of cubbies.
This bell reminds me of polar express and all the times my boys heard santa's bells at night. This bell to be exact.
Another precious mom ornament.
A Baseball for all the countless hours we spent at the little league fields. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Of course, A superhero... what boy wouldn't want to be a superhero.
Trey's second christmas I put all the ornaments down low that he couldn't hurt and this was his favorite one to pull off the tree and play with, I so remember it like it was yesterday.
Travis has a collection of nutcrackers like you wouldn't believe. Every year he has gotten one or two and they line the stairs. He says when he gets old he will take them with him. I can't see a nutcracker without thinking of Travis.
This special nutcracker was from a little girl I had in kindergarten two years ago. She came to my house and saw all the nutcrackers and said, there are no girl nutcrackers so she bought me this girl nutcracker. It is now the only girl nutcracker we have and I love it.
