Every year, we get some new additions for our tree. The kids get to pick out a new one every year (my intent is to have them slowly build up their own set of special ornaments for if/when they have their own holiday trees). My favorites are the ones they make!
My mom also has an incredible collection of ornaments she made herself (from kits). They’re all different! These took a lot of work and patience and the kids and I just love them–this was the first year we hung them on our tree. As we pulled each one out of the bag (last Christmas, my mom distributed her collection evenly between my sisters and I), the kids were oohing and ahhing, each one was their expressed favorite until the next one came out!
These are such wonderful treasures! Too bad I can’t do stuff like this. And I sure hope these will make it to the kids’ own trees later on!
