Decorating the Tree

I finally finished putting up my tree and decorating it. I didn't put as many ornaments on it as I usually do and I think I like it better. I like to put ornaments on the tree that remind me of something, like a trip or an activity the girls were involved in.

This is a little cheerleader I found a couple of years ago. Now I call it an OU Pom girl because of the red & white uniform.

Here is a little girl playing soccer (Kristen and Kaitlyn both played) along with one of the many pairs of ice skates I have on the tree.

Here is the most expensive pair (and most realistic pair) of ice skates I have. They are heavy and they have actual toe picks, too.

And, of course, we have a Nutcracker. (see my comment a few posts back)

One of the three little ice skating girls I have on the tree. This one looks like Kaitlyn when she was little.

This one is a Junior Girl Scout carrying a box of cookies (which Kristen, Kaitlyn, and myself when I was a girl, all did) along with another pair of ice skates.

An ornament I purchased one year when we went to Crested Butte, CO. It's a chair lift with a pair of skis behind it. It says Crested Butte on it.

I purchased this next ornament at Silver Dollar City in their Christmas shoppe. It's a tiny violin carved from wood. It's beautiful and it reminds me of all the concerts I've gone to when Kristen and Kaitlyn were playing their violins in the orchestra.
