Hmmm, I have several ornaments I really like....


I like a white dove with a little heart strung around it's neck - I always hang it near the top of my tree.

I have many that I like.My Aunt started us on a tradition w/ a Hallmark dated ornament 32 years ago! Well, since then I have bought a dated ornament w/ a pic or theme that pertained to that year. when DD#1 was born I bought one w/ 1 lil girl (prescious moments) next year was DD#2- so I one w/ 2 lil girls- etc!


When girls were in figure skating- that year bought a skating ornament, I still grin when I look at 1989 at a lil bear playing hockey w/ the number 89 on back & SON on shirt- yup the year was a hockey player ! Then all the ones w/ rotties on them & the one w/ a pic of our rottie Baron, inside -it is a heartbreaker !


Sometimes decorating the tree takes hours, as I stop & look & reminece (sp)? forever. Now the dated grandchildren ones are coming- ahhh!

Great question Ann,
I have two angels made from popscicle sticks when DH was a kid.
MIL gave them to me several years ago.
So when my boys were about the same age ..
They made them as well.
They are just beautiful & all four of them are very special :)

Oh that's really sad.... was there no way you could have contacted the new owners and had them send them to you?
