and I am still
I could not pack away the Marine ornament that my son sent me
or the ornament that my daughter brought me from NYC.
~so I hung them from the pot rack in the kitchen~
this reminds me of when I put their drawings on the fridge
when they were in Kindergarten...
it made me smile then.
it made me smile then.
These two ornaments reflect who my kids are now:
a fine Marine and a fancy young lady
a fine Marine and a fancy young lady
...all grown up...
I will keep the ornaments hanging around awhile
since they make me smile!

I keep a snowflake ornament that my grandduaghter made me, out all year round.
Very sweet!
yesterday I found the donkey from our nativity under the couch. SO I guess we still have a few things out too ;-)
What a good idea! I think you should find a permanent place and always keep them out!!! And they would also be a wonderful conversation piece for company.
What a beautiful way to think of your kids all year long.
What a sweet way to celebrate your kids!
Peace,

I say keep them out all year if they make you happy!!
I have Christmas ornaments that I keep up all year long. Christmas is about JOY and that is what these ornaments bring to you.
Hi Kim, I don't blame you for leaving out those two special ornaments.. Your kids are all grown up.... Can't believe that mine are too --and even my grandchildren are teens now. Yipes.
Hugs,

We thank your family for the service and sacrifices for serving out country. I would not put it away either.
I see you are going to be an aunt! What an exicing time!
HOPE your coming year will be a blessed one in many ways.
It SHOULD be Christmas all year round, great post! :)
That is sweet. :)
Love it...what a great way to light up our everyday lives with things that make us smile. Besides who is to say the joy of Christmas must be tucked away till December.
