Oh Christmas Tree

Here is our first Christmas tree in Albany!  


Decorating our tree always brings back memories from my childhood.  My Mom did a great job collecting and storing my old ornaments all the way back from when I was born!  Cheap ones I made at school or nice ones I received as presents - they are all there!  She has given me some of these over the years to fill my own tree, and of course I have started the same collection for my little family.  I have ones from when Robbie and I first got married and then for each of our children.  


Here is Hawkins' "Big Brother" ornament next to one for Gates from last year


Hawkins' made this handprint one last year when he was two

I had them make this one at the Clay Spot this year with Gates' handprint on one side and Hawkins' on the other.  These are my favorite!



Katie gave us this 2 years ago when we found out Gates was a boy!


Here is one of me when I was a little girl!


And another of Gates...
