Sentimental Decorations

We have some sentimental decorations around our home that have a special place year after year. This snow-family was purchased quite a few years ago when the children were very little and they delight in it still.

When you enter our home the banister leading up the stairs is always decorated the same way...I am a creature of habit and traditions. My little Emma nearly begged me to get these decorations up as soon as the tree was done. She has taken it upon herself to plug in all the lights each morning...such a little homemaker!

This little candle has a great history! It was about 20 years ago it made its first appearance. We were not yet married and Howie bought it for a date we had one evening at my parents home. We lit it and enjoyed its light for only a few minutes...decorative candles are not really meant to be burned. :) Since then I take it out every year...it now has a tea light candle in its hat...very happy memories indeed!

This tree topper angel was bought for our first married Christmas...we can't bear to put anything else at the top of our tree!

A decoration lovingly made by my (at the time) ten-year-old Austin...it was not a school project ~ just something he created at home for me! :)

These ornaments are precious because they were made by the boys when they were in grade one in the little local Christian school.
