It’s time for another life story. What’s a life story? Well it’s a personal project that I and a group of wonderful photographers are doing. It’s a great way for us to capture our own lives every month. At the end of post we are each linking to another photographer. It’s a whole big circle of stories in pictures. If you are new or want to see my past life stories here they are.
I love family traditions. I feel that having traditions make memories ‘stickier’ and easier for children to remember. All of our ornaments have a story. Every year each kiddo (and the hubs) get a new one in their stocking. Usually the ornament is related to something that’s important to them that year. Whenever we take a vacation we will usually get an ornament as well. This is the first year my kiddos understand that each one belongs to someone and has a story behind it. I pulled each ornament one by one and they’d want to hear the story behind that particular ornament.
When they grow up I want them each to take their own ornaments to their home to start off their own trees. The first year I had my own tree in my tiny little apartment (with my sister as my room mate) we had ZERO ornaments. So we ended up taking the few stuffed animals we still had and putting them all over the tree. I don’t want that for my children.
This is the one momma gave daddy the year he worked with ESPN a lot.
Mimi and Papa gave this one to brother when he was a baby.
Please note how all the snowmen are on the same branch. They must like to hang out together.
Ofcourse the gingerbread ornaments have to hang out together as well on the same branch.
And the M&M girls from those trips to M&M World.
Now make sure to check out the next photographer in the chain – the Harford County Child Photographer – Jen Snyder of Lux Amoris Photography and see her life story of happy this month!
