Two paper Christmas ornaments made so many years ago always find a place on our family Christmas tree.
This one was made when our oldest was in elementary.
Our baby created this Christmas ornament when she was in elementary too. We have to prop him up now, but he always finds a place on our tree.
As a woman of a certain age I am very sentimental. Our Christmas tree has the same decorations each year. We just add one or two each year. Some years we add special moments such as births, graduations or just remembering family and friends. The decorations go back as far as 1977.
The last third grade class my mom taught made her this one. She put it on her tree in Longview–now we put it on ours. The words may be faded, but the memories are there forever.
Memories are so precious because “theisisyourbestyear”.
