i've had the same ornaments decorating the Christmas tree for more than 15 years. they've been through college, early marriage, 3 toddlers' sticky fingers, and they've managed to stay in tact with only one broken(which happened at the Riviera long, long ago).
until now.
the tree has met its match.
and his name is Christian.
total broken ornaments tally: 6 and counting
okay, so i broke one this year too so I'll cut him a little slack.
but not too much slack.
whenever it's too quiet i run to the tree and usually he's there with two in his hands.
as i take a step toward him, he gets that look and smashes them together. sweet destruction!
lucky for him, he hasn't been hurt.
unlucky for the tree, it now has a bare bottom. 🙂
my favorite decoration this year, though, is these ornaments.
every year i collect new photo ornaments and put in a picture of each child. i love that our tree is scattered with pictures of them from every age. i think they might even love it more than i do.
sure does help whenever Christian breaks another ornament and I look at his cute face on the tree. I can't be mad for too long!
