Christmas Tree Ornaments

Just wanted to share the new remembrance ornaments we added to the tree this year. We get some sort of family ornament every year that has meaning or sentimental value. I remember every one since weve been married. Last year it was Jaden's First Christmas ornament with his picture, the year before was a Willow Tree Angel of Remembrance for our first baby who we never got to meet. The previous year was a Willow Tree Embrace ornament (a little romance for our 4th year married), the two previous years were I believe a Smores Skiier and a Smores Hiker ornament (picture a marshmellow with a face, stick arms, and legs and the graham and chocolate as a hat and base). And finally 6 years ago was our First Christmas ornament (two raccoons snuggling on a log under a blanket). They all mean something special and represent us or memories in some way.

So this year to honor Ethan we added two new ones. Of course one is a picture of Ethan and the other is an angel. On the wing it says, "Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever."
