Things are looking Christmas-y around here.
Part of that is putting up the tree and "hanging" ornaments.
If you have been following our blog for over a year now than you know
our ornament tradition.
For those of you who are new to our blog....
Each person gets an ornament that represents the year.
Then when they move out, they will have at least 18 ornaments to hang on their own tree with lots of memories.
So, here are this years ornaments:
Brian - a barn
Finished our barn this year that we LOVE!
Caleb - a football
played on the HS football team
Hudson - a football
Played on the freshman football team

Abbi - violin and "Braces On"
Maggie - violin and cross

Elizabeth - a cross
She was baptized!

Weston - a cross

Dani Rae - a school girl

Tessa - swimmer
Took (and LOVED) her first swim lessons
DONE!

Love this! I think this is a great tradition :) We don't have any traditions like these but I know this will be something very special that they will cherish.
I love your tree it's beautiful! We do the same thing with ornaments, now 10 children and 18 years later our tree is really full...and I love it! My mom also gives them and ornament as well, so we had to do just a kids tree to hold them all. Your choice of ornaments this year was so sweet, I loved the crosses best!
You are so talented. I love how you find a perfect ornament for everyone~

Merry Christmas!!
