A Peek at my Tree

I figured that I would give you a little glimpse into my favorite Christmas decoration, our tree. Now everyone has a special ornament that they put up every year. My mom has one that has been on her tree since she was born....some of mine are old, but not that old. So I thought I would share with you the ornaments that make it every year, because they are special. Here we go...

1. I told you about the time I worked at Disneyland right? Well if I haven't you can read about it here and here. Every year Disney has a holiday party for it's employees and that year they handed out collectible ornaments! I didn't want to put it up on my tree, to keep it safe, but D didn't know and put it up. Now it goes up every year!

2. This is the first ornament that D and I got. It says Our 1st Christmas Together 2002 and it has our names on it. I love it and even thought the hanger fell off, we still set it on a sturdy branch so we can enjoy it!

3. This ornament was a gift from my grandmother and it states an Irish blessing "May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back." I love that blessing and its sentimental coming from my grandmother!

4. This ornament has been on our tree since I was a kid. It's a little wooden train on a yarn loop. The hangar has seen better days, and will probably need to be replaced soon, but the rest of the ornament looks pretty good for being almost 30 years old! D likes this one (he has a thing for trains) and always puts it at the top!

There you have it. A glimpse into our Christmas tree! Maybe we will get a special ornament this year to add to our collection!
