Christmas Tree

The cutest little elf
He wanted to hold a "ball"
Christmas jammies
The best presents under our tree
All finished!

We love unpacking the ornaments for our tree every year. It is a tree of memories. There's the Glenda the Good Witch ornament because I played her in my high school's production of the Wizard of Oz, an angel that one of my students gave me my first year of teaching, Jeff's tractor that we bought the first year he started his apprenticeship training, Nicholas's first Christmas ornament, and many, many more. I love to spend time looking at each one, trying to remember who gave it to us and how long we've had it. Our tree doesn't have a theme and it may not be the prettiest in the block, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Each ornament represents a little part of our life and that's just the way we like it.
