We also have...Lynn, Love your tree and decorations. We also have so many decorations with a lot of special meanings. Our first ornaments came from a Christmas shower given for me by the group home of mentally challenged adults that I worked for. Our tree topper was a felt purple hippo. Since they were born each of our children has been given ornaments so they have their own collection for when they move out on their own. We like colored lights, I like the small ones and Doug has always like the bigger lights. Yes, like you I LOVE decorating for Christmas. <br />Linda PaulAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276648828628465771.post-92094900878280118502010-12-02T12:34:42.185-05:002010-12-02T12:34:42.185-05:00I remember popping into your office, before I went...I remember popping into your office, before I went outside with the dogs, to check out your Christmas sweater of the day. It was always fun seeing what you were wearing leading up to the holiday, and added a lot to the spirit of cheer at work.<br /><br />Love your picture today! It's the first time I can see how slender you are, and you look wonderful! <br /><br />xox AnuAnuhttp://morebarkforyourbark.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276648828628465771.post-45415141043311635132010-12-02T11:24:30.459-05:002010-12-02T11:24:30.459-05:00beautiful tree and lots of special ornaments on th...beautiful tree and lots of special ornaments on them; each with their own unique story! cool too that your husband was willing to put the tree up early this year!! <br /><br />very festive looking indeed!<br /><br />enjoy the day!<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276648828628465771.post-55898022181307334152010-12-02T10:10:13.704-05:002010-12-02T10:10:13.704-05:00Thank you for the tour ... and for the stories beh...Thank you for the tour ... and for the stories behind some of your ornaments.

I'll have to share about the others that were given to us since I shared some of my favorite homemade ones by the kids! I love your paint by number one too! I can see how special that would be with how it came to be part of your tree!<br /><br />We do white lights, but I think my hubby would love to have one with colored. We both grew up with colored lights! I never met a light I didn't like (well I don't really care for them flashing). For me, the clear seem serene and peaceful, but I do love them all! We usually have a small tree somewhere with colored lights...usually in Colt's room.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing! Loved reading your memories!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />TammyTammy ~ Country Girl at Home ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/15357964198971943168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6276648828628465771.post-18603716264098087932010-12-02T08:59:14.691-05:002010-12-02T08:59:14.691-05:00Love your special tree filled with all the memorie...Love your special tree filled with all the memories!!
