to CHRISTMAS, that is!!
I have been trying to think of a fun Countdown to Christmas to do on my blog. And today as I was sitting enjoying our tree the perfect idea came to me! From now until Christmas each day I am going to post a different ornament & the story behind it!
Christmas Ornaments are a big tradition in my family. Each year, since I was born, I have received an ornament from my parents. Most of them have had to do with something that happened that year, or something I was into at the time. My mom always has her work cut out for her to find the perfect ornament for each person! This is a tradition that I plan on carrying on with Emma & am now on the search for her first ornament. I will let you know when I find it! :)
Since I am a little late getting this started, I am going to post two for the next few days to catch up!
Here are the first two......
1
This is a good ornament for #1. This was my first ornament. It is a Raggedy Ann that my parents gave me on my first Christmas!
2
And a good one for #2! This represents the second house that David & I have lived in together. The year we bought our house my parents gave us this beautiful little frosty house. My mom added a tag that has our address. {I put the tag to the back, didn't think it would be the best idea for the whole world to see our address!} It will always be a reminder of the joy of owing our first home!

Great idea! Can't wait to see what you get for Emma for her first Christmas.
Hehe. Raggedy Ann looks like she has been around a few years! Ha...she has!! Oh, bread dough ornaments were a BIG deal in 1982!!! I have LOVED carefully picking out ornaments for each of you each year! It does make for a fun tree filled with many memories. It was SO fun to get to see your tree this week...thank you for surprising me!!! Love you sweetie!
That's cute! I always got an ornament every year also... something that represented our lives for that year. Happy countdown!
I LOVE the Raggedy Ann ornament! What a sweet tradition :)
Ash - that is a tradition I grew up with too! Unfortunately, sometime during college my box of ornaments disappeared. My mom and I aren't sure if it got lost at her house somewhere or in one of my moves. I am going to continue this tradition with Addison too. I love it!
