Our Tree for Christmas 2011

Our Christmas tree doesn’t seem to change much from year to year and this year was no exception.

The only change I made this year was the addition of some burlap garland  to tie in with the mantel shelf bows and…..

…I made a new Christmas ball with our son-in-law’s name on it who became a part of our family in July of this year.  Our Christmas tree has a ball with all our children’s and grandchildren’s names on them.

I still put my big red plaid bows on the Christmas tree that I made a few years ago.

And I still have two of my favorite Christmas ornaments on the tree.   The first one is the Silent Night Christmas ball which has been in my family for many many years.  My Mom had it on her tree as a little girl.  It’s the only one left and I’ve had it for about 25 years.  The second is the heart.  It is our first Christmas ornament together as husband and wife.
