Christmas: Our Family Tradition

It started off with my sister giving

me this..

Our first ornament as a married couple. We got that in December 1999. I got to thinking how cool it would be to have an ornament represent what was going on in our lives each year and for each person and new person's to come along. I would like to share some of these memories with you all.

This is my oldest daughter's, Destiny, on her 2nd Christmas. It was a major one since that year she got a little sister..so traumatic for her.. lol.


This is the ornament that represents me pregnant with the little sister ;)



This one was a part of a major transition in our lives..it brought us closer together.

Here is one of our son..family complete.

Every year we go and pick a new one that represents us and it goes on the family tree. Then when the kids have their own homes they get to take the ornaments that have been collected for each of them and can start their own tree with memories.

I want to encourage each of you to start traditions with your family. Create memories that will last a lifetime.
