Christmas Tree

First, Brad's snowman!Okay, on to the tree. One of my favorite parts of Christmas is unpacking my ornaments. Seeing them always brings back memories of when I bought the ornaments, or in some cases, who gave them to me. It makes me quite sappy and sentimental. So, with that said, here are some of my favorites:

This is probably the oldest one I have. My best friend, Erika (of the past 23 years) gave this to me in high school. I would guess it's about 19 or 20 years old!
Here's another one from high school, given to me by another good friend. I still keep in touch with him as well through the internet.
This one was made by Jackson's teacher the year he was in daycare.
This one is for Brad.
This, too, is for Brad, since he'll always remember his Oilers. Luv 'ya Blue!
Here's the new family at Petsmart when Jackson was an infant. I need to haul everyone back out there to take a new picture, but I've been afraid.
This one is for me, well, just because.
And what Christmas tree couldn't use a fighter jet?
I started buying personalized ornaments with the kids' names on them each year. I've got one with Noah's name on it as well.
This one is Noah's favorite...
and this one is Jackson's.
Hmm, maybe I should take a picture of the entire tree!
