Anna working on the tree.
Both squirrels sorting decorations....
2006...Bible verse...I don't know if this was supposed to be a Christmas ornament or not, but I used it as one. ;)
A "B" on a block, with Santa on the other side....I have no memory of ever seeing this one before, but it's here just in case it's important. ;)
One of several from 2000...
I have this one because it was free. ;)
Emma and Anna's angels from, I think, 1998.
Oscar's commemorative doggie in a stocking, 2007.
Anna's first Christmas, 1997.
2009....my mantra for last year. ;)
Anna's angel, because she didn't have one in the set....I think I explain about the set later....
The ornament someone bought us after Ethan died. I think it was

The ornament someone bought us after Ethan died. I think it was MIL, but I'm not positive.
Ethan's first Christmas ornament, 2000.
2002...this was a quick-run-in-Walmart-and-find-something-before-everything-is-sold thing. ;)
Christmas lists the girls made, I think, in 2004.
2004, mirrored butterfly. It's fallen apart SO many times and I've had to glue it back!
From 2000...I bought several new ornaments that year.
2005...perhaps....?
2002....you notice I stopped relying on my brain to remember the year and painted it on. ;)
Barbies, gifted to the squirrels from my cousin...the ballerina is Anna's, and the bride, Emma's. Both have broken legs, but the bride's dress hides hers...if you look close you can see tape on the ballerina's legs. ;)
1999....Emma made this in school, her first and only completed year of preschool or any other school. ;)
2005...photo holder
2008...I have no idea what it's supposed to be, but I liked the shape. ;)
2001...a bell.....it was difficult enough to buy one at all....buying something particularly special was NOT going to happen.
Emma's first Christmas, 1995.
2003....lighthouse...plays Silent Night and has a teeny light in the top.
Our angels. Well, angels for three of us. These were from Emma's second Christmas, so Anna doesn't have one. I wish I could find one for her, simply because it would complete our set...not because I particularly like them. ;) (MIL gift.) ;)
Vintage glass ornaments. I LOVE these, but they're a bit too fragile for tree use...
so I hung them on suction cups and stuck them on the window. Yeah, THAT's going to be safer....
And that, my dears, are our ornaments we get out every year and love so ridiculously much. ;)
