My VERY favorite Christmas ‘decoration’ is the tree. I love the way the home feels with a beautiful lit up tree.
Our tree this year was a little large. We had to totally move its location (and the entire living room arrangement) because it was too big. We love it though, one of the prettiest trees I’ve ever seen!
Our tree ornaments are eclectic, a collection of trips, memories and our favorite moments.
Like this one from our European Honeymoon:
Or this one that’s over 50 years old and given to us from Mike’s late grandmother:
This one is from my great grandmother who, every year, would buy one for my mom. My sister and I would fight to hang the ‘cool egg/penguin cut out ornament’
A few ornaments from trips:
Some were gifts and some just pretty:

My sister gave this one to us the year we were married:
And next year we’ll get to hang an ornament that looks something like this:
Yup, I’ve been keeping a little secret! And now you know the reason behind the blog lacking the past few months (me and ZERO energy). Next Christmas should be fun with kiddos around (my step brother’s wife/my best friend is preggers too). Baby posts will commence!
