These are a few of my Favorite things

So by now we must all have our trees and decorations up right? So I thought it would be fun if we shared some of our Favorite ones.I dont have one of those matchy matchy designer trees. My tree is filled with love and memories, and glued on noodle stars, and I wouldn't change it for anything. Its perfectly imperfect just like my family.
This is the beautiful cheap plastic sparklie princess crown that Steve gave to me on our first christmas together. He promised to give me the world and treat me like a queen...so far so good!
This is 'Our first Christams' Ornament my Mom gave us that same year.
I have one of these for each of my kids. we made them last year, inside is a 'real you' picture of them making a goofy face.
This ornament hung on my Grandmothers tree for as long as I can remember, now it hangs on mine.
This is Grandma's ceramic tree that a friend made her when i was just a babe, Now it belongs to Lizzie when she gets married.
Same Grandma, Same Friend, He plays music too!

There is so many morem so many memories. But for now thats all, maybe another post. How about yours, I loved to share.

love it!! forget the "matchy matchy" trees--- the ones full of memories mean so much more! i always love pulling them out of the box and recounting the story of how we got this one or that one... it's a fun walk down memory lane! Your tree is beautiful and LOVE the crown. so sweet.

I am trying to make memories, new ones at least...since my husband passed away, I've really just been trying to stay above water...but for 4 years now, I've just collected all the kids little homemade ones and that goes on the tree with some ornaments that's been given to me by friends, I want to have a memory tree like yours....the tree, too, was given to me by a friend of both my husband and I, so this tree has been around since Leka was born...it still serves its purpose so I guess that would be one memory....I always say I'm gonna save $$ to hit the after christmas sales just so I can have new ones the next year but, I just can't seem to save....
