Friday Faves: Christmas Tree Ornament(s)I do not have just one favorite Christmas tree ornament...is that even possible?? My husband was an ornament collector before I married him, so we had several hundred of those fancy Hallmark ones for a long time. We eventually got rid of a lot of them and now enjoy a larger variety of ornaments on our tree, including homemade ones by the kids...a must for every family with children!! This year though I have a few favorites...mostly because they bring back fond memories.
This little guy is standing beside a large drum with a fire inside (which flickers). It reminds me of our Christmas tree hunt each year.
This ornament is special because my Mom had it made the year I returned home from living in South Africa. It's a hand blown glass ornament with a hand blown glass elephant in the center. It's really awesome!!! It is extremely breakable, but so far it's made it through Christmas for almost 19 years!
This moose reminds me of our trips up north to Vermont and New Hampshire. We love going up there, hiking in the mountains, and enjoying a bit of God's beautiful creation!
Here is a photo of the whole tree. This year it's 8' tall and we only put about 1/5 the ornaments on it - simply because we got too tired!

Your ornaments are gorgeous, I love them! The tree looks so beautiful too.
We are heading to South Africa in less than 2 weeks- departing the 30th of Dec. returning the 20th of January!!! I am excited to see home and family!!!
Blessings to you this Christmas!
