Christmas Time Is Here

With Christmas right around the corner, I thought I'd share some of our favorite ornaments from the tree. Also, a very special first appearance for us this year as we finally have our very own Christmas village. It's a Heitz tradition and we received our very own made especailly by my mom! We love it! It's perfect and looks so great under our tree!

First off...the village! There are six total places in our village.






And on to the ornaments. It's another tradition in my family to recieve an ornament with your name on it once your part of the family. Josh got his very own last year.


I've had mine since I was a baby.


This one is an almost exact replica of a small musical rocking horse that my brother used to have in his bedroom as a baby. It sat on his bookshelves and we used to play it at night before bedtime.


Mom and Dad got this for us last year--notice the engagement ring on her finger. The date was the day we got engaged.


This was for the year I went to Italy with Jenny & Beth. It says Merry Christmas in Italian!


Got this from Maddie last year and I treasure it!


Bridget and Joey gave this to me one of her year's in medical school when cash was tight and while I worked at Purina.


There are so many more I'd love to post but not enough time!
