my Christmas tree!
According to my husband, I have just committed the unpardonable sin of putting up my Christmas tree before Thanksgiving. I don't think I've ever done that before but I just couldn't help myself....and Thanksgiving is late this year. :) The kids and I put the tree up on Saturday which gave me Sat. night/Sunday to get the lights on. Tonight for FHE we put the ornaments on. It's always so much fun looking at all the handmade ornaments and remembering when each of the kids made them. I love all the fancy schmancy Christmas trees with matchy-matchy ornaments but I'll never have one of those because I love our homemade stuff even more. For her lesson tonight, Kierstyn asked "What does Christmas remind you of?" For me, Christmas is about memories.....and the ornaments on my tree remind me of so many wonderful times and people.

I love homemade Christmas ornaments too. I'll never have a matchy-matchy or fancy schmancy tree either. I still have an ornament you made me when you were dating Kelly (when I didn't like you). :)
Ditto-- our tree is homemade also. Something mom instilled in us. I remember when one year mom wanted to forego the homemades and get matchy I didn't handle that too well, of course.
