Memory Lane

Every year, when we put up ornaments on the tree, it's such a nice trip down memory lane. We reflect on certain childhood keepsakes, recall places we've lived, moments in history, and more recent "handmade" additions.

This year, Ryne was really involved in helping to decorate the tree, and really didn't need any help from us, which was a big change from last year. He put up the majority of non-breakable ornaments, which as you can imagine, cover the bottom half of the tree, while the glass balls adorn the top part! It was a fun, special and memorable time for us to share as a family.
