A Walk Down Memory Lane

Yesterday the kids and I went over to Grandma & Grandpa's house. We brought the Christmas cheer when we showed up!

We got Grandma's 4' tree up on the living room table, lighted and decorated. The kids were interested in a few of her ornaments, but it was a walk down memory lane for me.

Here are some of the highlights for my siblings:

Wonder how old that ball is?

I have no idea where this came from & Grandma couldn't remember, either.
It's just always been on the tree.

Sissy made these one year.
Were you in high school when you made them?

Momma thinks she remembers painting these
with Sissy before my time.
Bubba said he remembered helping paint them, too.
Grandmama made the needle point poinsettia in the background.

This was given to me by my friend Jonathan when we were little. Don't remember how old because we didn't think to date stuff back then. His parents had a ceramics workshop and they made this one for me.

Momma said Uncle Jimmy brought these from Mexico.
I remember these always being there, too.
Of course, the cat was my favorite.

She said Bubba made this one at school.
It has a Christmas tree on the other side.

Sissy made these one year when we had a little craft booth
in a craft mall where we sold handmade items.

Grandmama made an assortment of these bead ornaments.

I made that one in elementary school.

The star has always been here, too.
It was from my Granny & Papa's first Christmas together.
And Daddy always puts it on top after the tree is decorated.

We also got the stockings up, with 2 new ones this year!
Now Grandma needs a glitter pen to add
Rebekah's name and Mark's name.
