All 5 Trees are done! Yes, 5 Trees!

Well, all 5 trees are done. The newest tree this year is of course the one in Ava's room! I know many think I am crazy for having this many trees but there is a story behind each.
This is the tree in our living room. I had many burgundy ornaments from our last house and this year I decided to tie in my favorite thing, Leopard! I think the bow turned out pretty good. I mixed the leopard in with my burgundy. I guess you can say this is our pretty tree! haThe fishing tree. Many of these ornaments were Jarred's when he still lived at home that his mom gave to us. This is in his office and I love it because it reminds me of him. I love the topper, "A fisherman lives here, with the best catch of his life"! ha
I sure hope that is how my hubby feels! ;-)
The snowman tree. This was the tree I had before we got married that I had at my apartment. For years I did not put it up, but I decided to put it back up last year and loved it! I love the snowman hat for the tree topper. This is the tree in our dining room.The picture tree. By far, this is my favorite. I started this years ago...long before pottery barn had the idea! ha I think they copied me (okay, maybe not) but this is such a neat tree. I think everyone should have one. It is so special to me. I have pictures of me and Jarred at Christmas when we were little, special trips, and a picture of us each year with a date. I even have a pink rocking horse ornament that holds Ava's ultrasound picture before she was here. I guess this is a memory tree and I know I will treasure looking at the pictures each year I put it up. I have gotten some neat picture ornaments for it this year. One that will hold the picture of our new house, Ava's first Christmas, and a remembrance ornament that will hold a picture of my Aunt who passed away this year.
Ava's tree. This is the newest tree. I am liking the way it is turning out! I need some ideas for the top though. I just can't seem to get it right. It is a pink and white theme, which goes with her room!

Christmas is such a special time. I love to decorate the house with all these special memories. I really could just sit and look at the trees for hours, they are so peaceful to me!

  3. I love them all! The snowman hat is too cute! I've never seen that done before.

    I only have one tree, but I'm thinking about doing a "cowboy" themed tree in Wyatt's room. He would probably break all the ornaments, but I think it would be so cute!
