This weekend we took down our Christmas tree. Every year on Christmas we joke about pitching the tree out the door as soon as gifts are opened. We had a neighbor out east who did that – basically before we had even eaten breakfast. But we enjoy our real tree every year from about 4 days before Christmas until after the new year. We spend a lot of time choosing the ornaments each year and reading old letters to Santa that our kids wrote, which we keep in the ornament boxes. Not surprisingly, we have a lot of sheep ornaments and a lot of ornaments that remind us of the love shared in our family.

We enjoy sorting through the many sheep ornaments and ornaments that signify the many things we’re grateful for
