Ornaments

Today was a sad day. Today we took down our Christmas tree, which means Christmas is officially over. It also means that there is a barren area in our living room once again, that needs to be filled. You may think that we had our tree up for a very long time, and you are right. We got our tree on December 4th and took it down on January 12th! The reason why we had our tree up for so long is because this year Justin and I spent Christmas in Ohio. We were there for about 2 weeks! We decided to celebrate our own Christmas once we got back. However, once we got back from Ohio we still had to buy gifts for each other and wait for those gifts to arrive. So, at last we celebrated our own Christmas this past Monday and decided to take down all our decorations today.

As I was taking ornaments off the tree, wrapping them in tissue and storing them in their proper places, I decided to snap a few pictures of some of my favorite ornaments.

This is my favorite ornament!
Justin and I were married in Savannah :)

Columbines are my favorite flower.
I got this ornament in Breckenridge, CO at David and Kim's wedding.

This one just makes me smile :)
I found it last year and Justin came home one night with it as a surprise!

Here are an assortment of Justin's ornaments.
A. The Jeweled Crab- He picked this out last year at a craft fair.
B. Carolina Panthers football.
C. Sushi and Chopsticks.


I started a new tradition where every year I pick out a new Christmas ornament for Justin and give it to him the night we decorate the Christmas tree. This year my ornament for him was the sushi one :)

I love how each year I find new ornaments to add to our little tree. It is always fun pulling them out each year and seeing them hang on the tree. I look forward to adding many more next year!
