Tree of Blessings

Each year we add to our family, we add one of these. It sure has gotten big!

This ornament I bought 13 years ago when we lived in Eastern Pennsylvania {love it there}from a primitive shop. It was made by hand and has held up exceptionally well. We store it each year in tupperware.

I love each ornament on our tree right now. I have many more in boxes, but for the ones who make it to the tree, they are special.

Each of them was bought to represent our life at that moment. We have handprint snowmen and baby’s first Christmas {all 6 of them}. There is Noah and church buildings, pieces of Americana and homemade cinnamon ornaments with each our names.

This year we are making ornaments with the Truth in the Tinsel advent. We are hanging those on a line in our dining room.

Each ornament holds a memory. A story. Our story.
