from my parents' tree
a bauble from my dad's birthday cake, his birthday was on Christmas Eve
date, 1958
from my older son
from my younger son
first ornament made by one of my sons
A few memories from our tree--- baubles from grandparents, parents, friends, students, and whimsy from various Christmases.
Joy and sadness each time we decorate the tree and remember those no longer with us and make new memories.
The deaths of my brother, aunt, and father-in-law this year make it even more poignant.
My younger son lives in California now and will not be here, but on the happy side I have a new grandson to celebrate.
