All the decorations are officially up and the tree is completely decorated. You know those people who have perfectly coordinated, professionally decorated trees? We aren’t those people. Our tree is filled with tons of sentimental ornaments, none of which match. Since Greenleigh was uninterested in hearing about the significance of the ornaments, I figured I would take a minute and give you a tour of our tree. These are just a few of my favorites.
First things, first. These are the girls’ ornaments from this year – Elmo for Greenleigh and a Baby’s First Christmas for Hazeline. They have their names and year written on them. Greenleigh is in love with hers; Hazeline is mad I won’t let her use hers as a teether.
We have ornaments for each of the “fur children” too. The cat ornament is from 2002 when we adopted Sonoma; the dog ornament is from 2007 when we adopted Madison.
Speaking of dogs, or rather Dawgs, we have tons of University of Georgia ornaments on the tree. This is one of my favorites, I bought it for Erajh as a present while we were still dating. Not sure of the year, but it had to be 2004 or earlier.
On the same collegiate type note, this ornament was given to me by my mom in 2003 after I graduated from law school and passed the bar. My mom always finds the best personalized ornaments!
We also have a few ornaments from my childhood. I love that ornaments that were on my tree as a kid are on my tree now. I had a Snoopy stuffed animal in my bassinet before I was born (and still have him today), so we always had tons of Snoopy ornaments on the tree when I was a kid.
This was an ornament I bought in 2006 when we were planning our wedding. It’s a wedding dress and veil, it just didn’t photograph well. I love this ornament and it does bring back a ton of memories from when I was wedding planning. The tree wouldn’t be complete without this ornament. 
Finally, my favorite ornament, purchased this year.
Or, maybe I should say it was my favorite ornament until I uploaded the pictures to write this post and realized that they messed up the placement of the names. My name should be on the reindeer on the right with the pink bow, but instead they put Greenleigh’s name there. Oh well. I still love it, and Greenleigh does make lots of the decisions around here anyway, so maybe she should be considered the female head of household.
P.S. – This is my 100th blog post! How awesome is that? Thanks for reading!
