Every year Ken and I get an ornament to decorate the tree to help us remember the year.  Our first year together was snowmen snuggling with our names on it (since we met and got engaged), the next year a baby to come ornament, then a new baby one, last year was a Yale emblem and a pair of scrubs (because of Ellie’s sugery).

When we decorated the tree this year we realized that there was nothing major this year.  There was nothing we had to have an ornament to remember.  This made us smile and thank our blessings for an uneventful year.

So we ended up with a Christmas pickle (thank you Laney for telling us the tradition) and a Sandbridge ornament  to remember our vacation.

Those go on the tree Ellie Beth
