Ornaments

My friend and visiting teaching partner had a really fun Ornament Exchange Party!  Everyone brought one wrapped ornament and we passed them around and ate food and talked.  It was cool.  Come to think of it she is really cool.  She also planned the Witches Night Out party.  I am really lucky that I was put with her when I moved into the ward.  Because I get invited to her fun parties.  

I received this really precious Noah's Ark ornament. 

And So......

Tonight as I was sitting on the couch and looking at my Sister Tiffany's blog..I thought about Ornaments.  I love them.   Every since I was a little girl I loved the ornaments.  

I remember making up stories about each of them and playing with them.

So I thought I would highlight a few from my tree.

My tree has no theme...

It is a mish mash hodge podge of what I have and what I have "borrowed"  from dear sweet Mama Jannet!  

I bought this ornament this year!  I love butterflies and I found it in Silver which is the main color on my tree.

I am a "nerd"  I met my husband on the internet and my screen name was "Mariposa" which is butterfly in Spanish.

Jeremy's screen name was "baetis" which is some type of Mayfly. (It has to do with fishing)

I don't have a representation of that on my tree.  So the butterfly will just have to represent the both of us. Because I really don't want a mayfly on my tree.  No offense to Jeremy, I just think it would probably be ugly since it is something that buzzes around bodies of water waiting to be snatched up by a fish.  

This is a "Borrowed"  ornament.  I remember fondly hanging it up many times over the years at Mama Jannet's.  Jeremy thinks it is ugly but I love it.  I think maybe Tiffany or Jeff made it.  So thanks guys!

This is another one of those "borrowed"  ornaments.  A little boy in a bed.  I played with these fondly many times as a little girl.  It was the night before christmas and this little boy was so excited to wake up on Christmas morning!

I love my "borrowed" ornaments because they remind me of my childhood christmas's that I have loved over the years.

I was such a blessed little girl to always have a good christmas.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
