Our First Christmas Tree: Part 3

The Final Product

I would like to think I have my life together enough to do things in some semblance of a timely manner. But that's not true. So, because I didn't want to skip over it all together, just for fun - here's what our Christmas tree looked like when we decorated it for real!

The first ornament on the tree was this one, a engagement gift from our sweet friends the Presleys. December 18th marked one year since he popped the question!

What better ornament to commemorate our first year of marriage in Iowa than corn?

Mom found this adorable one that says "They said 'I do' and 'War Eagle' too!

This is a melted snowman. I had some youth group girls over one Saturday in December for some Christmas baking and crafting. This was a popular creation. 

Mom's college best friend, Carolyn, gave me this one during the small window of time when I was dancing (maybe ages 4-5, I can't remember). For some reason it has been my favorite ever since! I'm glad to bring memories like this into my own home!

Since sending out a Christmas card was another of those things that I wanted to get to but didn't, Merry very belated Christmas from our family to yours!
