Decorating for Christmas

 Here is Ashley taking her turn, just a little reluctantly to put the star on top of the Christmas tree!

 Every year our first ornaments are the kids baby footprints etched on glass!

 We always have to "look how tiny your foot used to be!"

 My mom bought this Little People manger when the boys were small and all 3 love to play with it!

 Here is the finished product.  Many people loved themed decorator done looking Christmas trees but I can't imagine not enjoying all the memories of our mismatched crazy set of ornaments from all over.  We have many from mine and Greg's childhoods, many that our children have made, special gifts from friends and family and ones made here in the Philippines and purchased from our Asian travels. 

 Below are some of the reasons why I am SO glad we have a digital camera!  I can't imagine how much money we would waste developing bad pictures if we didn't!

 We have a small tree that the kids put real ornaments on too but the day before Ashley wanted to decorate it with some flowers that fell off a neighbor's tree!
