is decorating the tree! Our family has an eclectic collection of ornaments which always makes me smile. A few of my favorites we've hung so far include:
 |
Old King Cole has been with me since the 60's. His paper eyes fell off, and are now painted on with a Sharpie!
|
 |
A gift from my college years, painted on a real sand dollar, dated 1983.
|
 |
I sent in some Snuggle Fabric Softener Sheet labels to get this one, dated 1986. It's a reminder of our "just-starting-out-and-couldn't-afford-ornaments" years.

 |
| My Mom gave me this one when I was pregnant- Christmas 1998. |
 |
| Thanks to whichever Montessori pre-school teacher came up with this idea! |
 |
| And hats off to me for having Madeline scribble her name and age on the back! I loved how. when she ran out of room for her name, she jumped up above to continue writing. Soon after, she stopped making backward 4's. I'm so glad I captured that moment in her development. |

| The Bon Voyage champagne cork from our cruise this summer... |
Decorating the tree is such a trip down memory lane! What's your favorite Christmas tradition?
