The ornaments on our tree are very sentimental to me. I thought I'd share a few of them.
I made this bell in 1983 when I was in Speech Therapy at Baylor. Who would have known that I would end up becoming a Speech Pathologist! The graduate student who was my Speech Therapist is now my boss. Small world!
My parents bought this ornament for me this year I got my first dog (1993). She was a miniature dachshund named Lady. Lady was the most loving dog. Sure do miss her!
My great grandmother (Muh) gave me this ornament her last Christmas with us (1999). She was the most caring woman. Miss you Muh!
My parents gave Andrew & I this ornament for our first "Married Christmas" (2001). What a special year for us!
This ornament was given to us by my parents. They gave it to us for the first Christmas in our new home (2004).
Kaiser's grandparents gave him this ornament for his first birthday back in August. They bought it for him on our cruise to Alaska this past summer.
We have a couple new additions to our tree this year.
Did anyone notice our tree topper? Yes, it's an airplane. My husband (the avid airplane collector/builder) decided that this would be the absolute perfect tree topper.
We have a new tree skirt! Andrew's mom made this beautiful tree skirt for us. It has moose walking through the forest. Most of you know, but my husband is the "Great Moose", so moose is a big deal to us.
That's just a few of the special touches on our Christmas tree. Would love to hear about each of yours!

The Searights (including schnauzers!) think the tree is lovely! We were so happy to see a post on here, Shelly!
And happy late birthday!
Thanks Corrie! Tell the girls hello for me, Andrew, & Kaiser:)
What a great post, Shelly! If I could get my rear in gear, I'd steal your idea and put some neat pics of special ornaments on my blog. But we're leaving for Kentucky in 2 days and my life is chaos. Maybe next year. :) I love the airplane - it could only be on Andrew's tree!!!
thanks joni:)
Yeah, I'd love to hear about some of your special ornaments!
That is one awesome tree, topped off with quite possibly the best tree topper I have ever seen! Our tree is full of ornaments from over our years, look to our blog for some pics later. I will say this, the bug does have an impact on the tree! Yippeee
