When I was little one of the best and biggest treats ever was having my very own Christmas tree in my room - a real tree that I got to pick out and help cut down. I loved falling asleep to the twinkling lights.
I still have all my ornaments from when I was little. Most of them were given to me by my grandma Jerome . . . we got a new one every year. She since has passed away, but my mom continues that tradition. Even now, I still get a new ornament! {my kiddos do too}
When my son was born, I decided to start our very own ornament tradition. Every year the hunt is on for the perfect ornament for Henry, Cleo and Kevin.
Some of the possibilities for twenty-eleven . . .
