The Memory Tree

 

I LOVE our Christmas tree this year. It's always lovely, but about a year ago I realized that it could be so much more than beautiful to look at. We started collecting Christmas ornaments celebrating all the many incredible escapades of the Audacious Larsen Family and when we decorated the tree this year, it was so fun reliving those special times! For example...

Can you spot the hula dancer, the claddaugh ring, the Arc de Triumph, an seashell angel, a very Maui Santa and the Eiffel Tower key chain?

 

Everything was looking its holiday best this year. Add the lights on the tree, around the windows, the garland and wreath outside, and the smell of cinnamon and cookie candle wax always in the melter, and it was such a lovely, cosy Christmas! And, I am so, so thankful for a barn in which to store it all in until next year!
