Christmas Eve
My husband and I started our courtship in 1993, and married in 1995.
Beginning with our first 'time away' together, we started collecting 'christmas Tree' ornaments. Whenever we are away for a minimum of two days/one night, we spend some of our time looking for something we can hang on our tree. The vision was that eventually the only decorations on our tree would be displaying places we've been together!
This is the year! We've visited enough places to adequately decorate the tree with nothing else!
When we look for 'the decoration/ornament', we hope to find something indicative of our visit, with the name of the area, and maybe with the year written on it. Occasionally, I have to resort to figuring a way to mark them with that name and date. (I wrote the month/year date on the back of this one). We also have several that we've made, during a trip. We even have a couple that are actually the lift-tickets which hung on one of our jackets from snow-skiing adventures!
As an example: one of the many things which we did while in Philidelphia, was to check out the Liberty Bell !
Photographed this one tonight, in particular, after a phone visit with our darling Hillary last night!! (Thanks, Hillary.....you're really fun--and sincere, warm & tender hearted, considerate, kind, loving and talented!)
**************************************************************************************************
'Twas the night before Christmas,
when all through the house,
not a creature was stirring,
not even a mouse! (yeah....remember, I now have two cats!)
Wedding Bells have been hung
by the chimney with care,
Knowing that this Christmas wedding,
will have a warm, sunny flair!!
(That's all for now.....I'm tired!)
***************************************************************************************************
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Offerings of blessings and thanks to the many awesome and talented members of this DP community! Sincerely, this has been a great highlight for me during my 10 month participation!
BTW: Travis and Kimberli have enjoyed reading the many wonderful comments offered to them!
And Kimberli got a kick out of your wonderful responses to last nights DP of her at the Bridal Shower/Bachelorette party!!
P.S. I really do apologize for not being very efficient about commenting on photos; my SugMug time has been quite limited!
