Take a tour around my Christmas tree and see some of my favorite ornaments.
I have a collection of these Campbell's Kids ornaments from my childhood. My Grandparents bought them for me and always said I looked like a Campbell's Kid. I think it was the curly hair and the puffy cheeks. :)
I hang these on my family's tree every year and think of them.
Here's one from my Paddington Bear collection. My mom and dad collected these for me. Today, Alex has a Paddington Bear of his own and a quilt from when I was a wee one too. :)
My uncle used to make my sister and me an ornament every year. I still have these all over my tree. I just love them. Among the collection is Kermit the Frog and a block that spells the word "Love" as you turn it.
This was bought in Gatlinburg, Tennessee on my honeymoon with the hubster. It reminds me of the wonderful time we spent together in a gorgeous cabin and hiking in the BEAUTIFUL mountains surrounding us. I heart Tennessee.
This is the last one. This was Alex's ornament from his first Christmas last year. I just love looking at pictures of him all small and squishy.
This year we've added a log cabin (my favorite home style in the world) and an electric guitar for Alex that looks just like his "dada's". Alex loves his ornament and I love the memories it represents.
Family Christmas Trees Rock!
Head over HERE for more W.W. :)
Evan has that first ornament too! I think its so special that you have so many ornaments that have so much meaning! Thats a great idea that your grandparents gave you those!
ReplyDeleteMy wife can remember practically where we got every one of our ornaments. She's got an iron clad memory when it comes to stuff like that.
ReplyDeletei love your ornaments!! I always allow Hunter to buy a new ornament every year and it usually will represent whatever he's "into" that year. Great memories!!
ReplyDeleteYou have the coolest ornaments!!! I want to start collecting them!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a Paddington Bear one before. My own favorite ornament is an antique one from the 50's or 60's that has an angel inside.
ReplyDeletegood classics there. I love ornaments that mean something
ReplyDeleteThose are great ornaments. I love the little guitar! Happy WW.
ReplyDeleteI love that you have ornamnets from your childhood. I dont have them yet, My mom has them and I dont want them anytime soon. Me getting them would mean something bad!
ReplyDeleteAh I love your ornaments! Thanks for sharing that nice glimpse. I remember Paddington Bear, so sweet. It's so great that one ornament can flood such vivid memories. I love it.
ReplyDeleteI love these! My husband and I have a tradition where we pick up an ornament wherever we travel. Then when we decorate the tree at Christmas time we're reminded of our trip. I love log cabins too. We visited his grandparent's cabin last spring and it was beautiful. I've never seen a log cabin ornament though - that would be a good one to have!
ReplyDeletei think the campbell kids ornament is my favorite
ReplyDeleteLove the ornaments and the meaning behind each one.
ReplyDeletei love ornaments. as a child, i got an ornament every year and that's a tradition we have started with our 2 kiddies. i have so much fun picking out their ornament each year!! it leads to great memories and discussions each year as we decorate the tree.
