Memory Tree

We have a tree of many varied ornaments, and as I was enjoying its peaceful glow I realized that they each hold a memory. Ornaments Aaron's mom made for her kids, ornaments received as gifts from many sources, ornaments we bought together, ornaments Zeke made at church, and more.

The tree itself holds memories too. We bought it on Christmas clearance the year before we were married. The light strands were once white lights, and we swapped out each individual light on the multi-colored pre-lit tree we bought my mom at the same time. Aaron did custom colors for the lights in our star. And so many other little things. And the beautiful thing is the memories will only grow as the years go by.
