Rockin’ Around the Tree

December 16, 2015 Tara @ I Might Need a Nap

Sharing just a few of the precious memories hanging on our tree…..

A little porcelain doll that has hung on our trees for over fifteen years

A snowman from my Aunt D I got so many years ago…..I’ve always loved him. He spins!

A gift from one of our favorite organizations doing amazing things–Bead for Life

This little sweetheart was a wedding gift thirteen years ago from a very precious family.

We have a few from our favorite movies. Thankful we are.

Hallelujah–the lights are all on! My decorating can’t hold a candle to Clark Griswold’s.

There are ornaments reminding us of big moments or favorite things from that year. (Marilyn and guitar–guess which one of my people these belong to?)

There are ornaments to remind us of big life events….

and ever so adorably small.

And we have ones that remind us of happy days with people we love and miss. We gave this ornament to my Mama many years ago. She loved Winnie the Pooh. Now it hangs on our tree, and we find joy in the memories.

And we have sweet homemade ornaments that remind us of the Love and Light of the season.

Tonight as I gaze at the lights and memories on our tree, I give thanks for the quiet and all of the memories that come flooding back in a rush. So much love on one precious tree.

Love to all.
