Random Monday Thoughts, 12/14/2015
It’s Monday again! During the holidays the weekends seem to go faster & faster, right? I guess it’s par for the course! Today, since it’s the holidays I thought I’d focus on something Christmas related! So, I’m sharing with you my five favorite ornaments on our tree! It’s fun to watch ornaments collect through the years and hear the stories that go along with them, isn’t it? So, here are my 5 favorite ornaments on our tree (in no particular order)!
This ornament was made by one of my great grandmothers! She was always making things out of yarn and plastic! This is small mailbox (both my brother and I had one) and on the other side is the year we were born! I always looked forward to getting this out each year and putting the flag up! Several years ago (I think I was probably in college) my mom wrote me a little note and stuck it in there! I’ve never removed it! I love pulling it out each year and reading it!
Perfectly Chic or Perfectly Family?
I was counting picture ornaments of the boys the other day. My SIL makes me one every year! This is my 5th Christmas with them and I marvel at how much they’ve grown, matured, and changed. Not only have they grown and changed physically, but they’ve also matured and grown into spectactular young men. I know that I have grown and changed as well. Maybe I haven’t grown physically (if you know me, you know how funny that is because I’m incredibly short!), but I know that I’ve grown and changed as a step-mom. I’ve learned a lot about parenting and being a step-parent, but I digress…
