Favorite Christmas Ornaments..

Here are some of my favorite Christmas ornaments that people have given me. That is one of the reasons why I love putting up the Christmas tree...when I'm hanging these ornaments, I think of all the special people and the good times I have had with them. My tree may not have all the fancy bows and ornaments...instead, it's a tree of love and memories...(kinda corny...but...it's true.) LOL
I'll tell you a little about each...The snowflake..we got it from our GREAT friends the Upton-Rowleys. We share the same wedding date except they got married in Idaho Falls. They recently moved far away...and we are sad, but at least I have their snowflake!! LOL
The clock ornament..my all time favorite..my dad collected the Hallmark ornaments that move and do all sorts of stuff. Well this was my favorite because Christmas morning I would lay in bed and if I didn't hear the little clock ornament ticking..I knew Santa hadn't come yet so I would just go back to sleep.
The third ornament...I remember my singles ward was having a Christmas party at the institute and our Bishop gave us these ornaments. Back in the good 'ol days..lol
The ornament of Joseph, Mary and Baby Jesus..I received when I was in the Relief Society Presidency in the Twin Falls 8th Ward. We got them at our Christmas devotional. It was a good experience.
The last one I got for a wedding gift from my cousin Dana. I love and cherish it. It's kinda hard to see in the picture..but it's a golden ornament of the Salt Lake Temple..which is where Matt and I got married.
Hope everyone enjoys the Holidays!

Awesome Christmas tree. I have to admit that Christmas trees with keepsale ornaments are more fun.
