So my blog buddy Johannah and a new friend Sarah posted a few of their favorite ornaments and I thought that would be much more interesting than anything else I had to post today!
The first one is this Waterford Crystal ornament from our first Christmas together, I was so excited to find this, because I went to the Waterford factory when I was in Ireland in 1999.
Next would be an ornament from Emma's first Christmas. Her G'daddy and Nana got her this and it is on the tree in her room.
Next would be the ornament I made for her last year. I made this owl when Emma and I went to HHI to visit my college roommate, Erika. We each made one as I wanted to start a tradition. Erika's parent's tree is full of handmade ornaments and I used that as my inspiration!
These next three are pretty special. The first one is a small paper Christmas card my mom sent out when my nephews were super little. I love putting it on the tree each year, brings a smile to my face to see how they have grown. The other two are of Emma (one from last year and the newest just arrived today!) I have one from her first Christmas, but it is hard to see.
No tree is complete without the Hokies and Vols!
The last ornament I will talk about will be the newest Vera Bradley one. I have added one every year to my tree. This one arrived this week and I love them all!
Here are a few more that I love looking at every year!
This was fun and I could probably add a ton more, but I will refrain and instead update you on Ariel. Today she was waiting for us on top of the cable box in our bedroom! This was the first day that Emma found her first!
So glad you joined this!! I love all your ornaments...the owl one is a hoot! Too cute! =)
