Tonight after putting away the Polly Pockets and trains, I sat in my dining room taking it all in. Our Christmas tree stands in a corner of the dining room, crooked after the chaos this morning. My camera was still on the table, so I grabbed it and snapped pictures of my favorite ornaments. I tend to hate themey trees, but our tree has gotten kind of themey with a lot of colorful candy canes, cupcakes, lollipops, and ribbon candy, as well as the keepsake ornaments and those I've received as gifts. I thought I would share the photos.
My tiny glass candy canes among the painted wooden and real candy canes decorated to look like Rudolph by the kids.
One of the cupcakes. I love the cupcakes — the sprinkles are the cutest.
Molly's tiny ballerina ornament is my favorite of the kids ornaments. Ain't she sweet?
This is the only surviving snow globe ornament from the three I purchased three years ago. Have you ever broken a snow globe? Broken glass, water, and tiny flecks of fake snow. Not cool.
One of the three "baby's 1st Christmas" ornaments on our tree. This is Molly's.
And my favorite new ornament, a gift from great friends. Very cute on my supercute tree.
I hope you've had an especially wonderful Christmas.
