| Our house is so small that we always put the tree in front of the front door. We never use that door much in the winter, only use it in the summer so we can go sit on the swing on the front porch. |
 |
| Had to have a picture of the top of the tree so our daughter-n-law could see that we are still using the Santa she gave me years and years ago. Think of her each time I put on the tree. Thanks Diane! |

| A few of my Christmas Bears. I hand painted a set of these a few years ago. Not sure how many there are but it was a lot of work to paint. I love placing them on our tree and seeing that I can get some things done... |

| Ornaments like these two can never be replaced. They are just plain glass ornaments but inside are Christmas messages from my son when he was small, years ago. The first one was on a gift from him that says "to mom from Kevin" and the second one was on another gift and he wrote "Mom, from your red headed woodpecker" These are precious to me...Love you son! |
 |
| The little Christmas tree with the circle ornaments was hand painted by my daughter, Suzie, back in 1978. |
 |
| This little cane was painted the same year by my daughter. I have about ten or twelve on my tree that she painted way back then and are precious to me. We look at them together each year with a smile. |
 |
| My daughter, Suzie couldn't be at the Life Celebration for her best friend, Pam, since she was so far away and had just been there the week before ... so she got a tattoo of what Pam told her when Suzie was crying and telling Pam she was sorry for crying. |
 |
| Suzie got the tattoo the same time as the service was being held ... |
