We used to laugh as over the years it became a "memory tree" leaving little room for typical ornaments. Dog tags, kids' first rattles and booties, things crafted by kids in school, photos of lost loved ones, a last note from my Dad, favorite quotes, etc. Too hard for me to deal with, now.<br /><br />We bought each of my kids a special ornament every year of their lives...they took them as they flew the nest so they would have enough to make a pretty tree. Our first tree was decorated with pictures cut out from Christmas cards we got. Some of them made it through to my kids' trees.hobopalshttp://travelswithmrnimble.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5084204667222116589.post-62996740500831136212011-12-16T12:43:11.404-07:002011-12-16T12:43:11.404-07:00Priceless family heirlooms, just beautiful.
