Ornaments

It's beginning to look like Christmas at the McGrew home. We put up our decorations a few days ago! One of my favorite parts of decorating the house when I was growing up was putting the ornaments on the tree. Although our tree was always beautiful, it was never decorated strictly for aesthetics. Most all the ornaments that went on the tree held personal meaning or relevance to our family. I'll never forget the little care bear ornaments my grandma Muddy sewed, or the ornaments with our baby pictures in it, or the ones we made at church each year. We also had collected many ornaments from various places we had gone on vacation. Every year, it was so much fun to reminisce over these ornaments and then add a couple of new ones to our collection. In our 4 short years together, Aaron and I have started this tradition for our family. I'm so excited to add more vacation ornaments, and those that my children will make with their own hands. Our ornament tradition is just one of many that we hope to have for our growing family.
