Oh Christmas Tree...


My family put up our Christmas tree today! It's a little earlier than usual (we generally wait until the weekend before Thanksgiving since we're out of town for that whole week), but my mom is having an Avon party and wanted to get the decorations out and ready! I thought I'd make a blog post with some of my favorite ornaments!


We got this horse at Target last year on Black Friday.  I was shopping with my younger cousins (4 and 12 at the time) and they both really liked these. We got three matching ornaments--theirs stayed with them in Tennessee and mine made the trip back to Florida.


This ornament is from my kindergarten teacher Mrs. Holcomb! She gave these paper gingerbread man ornaments to each student in our class and I've kept mine for the last 15 years. Time flies!


The only one I couldn't get my hand out of the picture for... this adorable owl! I love owls so much--they are one of my top two favorite animals! This ornament is from Target (I believe it is a few years old), and SO CUTE!


My other favorite animal--TURTLES! I have no clue where this glass turtle ornament is from, but it is beautiful and a TURTLE so obviously I had to include it in my favorites!


I couldn't not include this crazy throwback ornament! McDonalds gave these Furby ornaments out as Happy Meal toys one year--does anyone else still have them?

Do you have any special ornaments you like to keep year after year? Obviously I have these, but there are SO many more sentimental ornaments I've had for as long as I can remember I got a pink tree last year after Christmas and I have a bunch of angel ornaments to put on it. I'm also really lusting after a set of glittery owl ornaments I saw at Target a few weeks ago!
