Today is Saturday, January 3rd, 2009. I took down my Christmas tree today. We had the prettiest tree this year. It was real!! And full!! And tall! {Kinda like me!! LOL!}
I really enjoy my eclectic ornament collection. This is my favorite. My oldest son Matt made it for me {With the help of his Sunday School teacher} when he was just a little shaver!
Even though I am at that age where the memory is slipping a little, I remember who gave me almost every ornament. {Or if I bought it, I remember where I bought it.} This year my friend Chrsti gave me a pretty Montana Silver ornament. I love how it catches the light. A few years back, my friend Carol gave me a candy cane shaped Montana Silver ornament. I think of her every year when I hang it on my tree. Last year my friend Margo gave me a super cute ornament. It has a cap, scarf and a pair of ice skates hanging on it. It reminds me of when I was a young {age 8,9 maybe 10?} girl. I got a pair of "already broken in" ice skates for Christmas. Mom and Dad had them polished up and looking good! We went to the creek under the railroad bridge many, many days that winter. I remember being so excited when I did the "single axel". I think that's what it's called in "Olympics" terminology. When I jumped in the air and spun around, came down and didn't land on my fanny, I thought I was ready for the Olympics!! A very exciting day indeed!
