One of my favorite things to do when putting up the Christmas tree every year is hanging all the ornaments that my 4 girls made when they were small. There are glittered
stars, angels, bells, reindeer, and many more. Some with pics of their
sweet faces glued to them and even some stamped with their small
childlike hands. All of these make me smile and fill my heart with lots of
sweet memories that I want to hold onto forever. We have a large tree in the foyer that has it's own theme (blog to come), so this year I decided to buy a little tree to put my "very special" treasures on. Buying a separate small tree is a great way to showcase special ornaments that don't necessarily have a theme. Hold onto those moments with your little ones, for soon they will be
sweet memories hanging on your Christmas tree and most importantly, in
your heart. -KimberlyClaire

A wreath made of macaroni. So cute. |
"On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and
they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and
presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh."
-Matthew 2:11
This is a GREAT idea! Having a separate special tree to hang memories on.When I put up a tree,they are my favorite ornaments;far more valuable than any store bought ornament around! Thanks for sharing that idea and bringing back what is so precious; our children and our memories of them!
