I have spent the last few weeks enjoying other people’s posts of their decorations.
One thing I have liked about it so much is that it speaks to me of family, memories, & the important things in life. I mean, what you put on your tree says a lot about you. None of our decorations match, but each one has a special place in our hearts. That’s probably why my tree will never look like this Martha Stewart one:

But, Martha Stewart, you ain't got nothin' on us, because we have:
An angel topper, made with love by Dave's Aunt Betty,
An angel decoration from Dave's childhood,
A cuckoo clock from my childhood,
A brightly colored lady from Guatemala,where two of our children originally hail from,
A Micky Mouse ornament-a testament to Dave's love of Disney,
A Mickey & Minne ball we picked up on our honeymoon in-you guessed it-Walt Disney World!
Nat-Nat's first ornament. 2007
Ruth first one-2006(with Bob the Tomato looking on!)
Ana's first Christmas-long ago in 2001!Now, I ask you-
Which tree would you rather have?

I'd rather have the second tree, most definitely! This year as we were decorating our tree I told my 4-year-old that each ornament reminds us of something special. To my surprise he was really interested in hearing the stories behind the ornaments and I enjoyed sharing them with him!
Sounds like our tree. My Mom always bought us a new ornament every year and now I do that for my kiddos. Special trees are the best!
I vote for the second tree. I love the little caroler singing from the book, and your coocoo clock. well, they are all so sweet . . . and merorable! It's so true -- a christmas tree tells a story with its ornaments. thanks for the grand tour!
I'm with you- we love our tree full of odds and ends.
Oh your tree is perfect, packed with memories!!!
Love, love , love it!
So great to see that your tree is a lot like ours.
Your tree is just as beautiful. :-)
Toot Toot!
Just like our tree. I love the stories and memories. Soon we'll need a second tree to keep up with all the ornaments my kids make each year. Love it.
I love your tree wayyyyy better!
