All About our Tree & the Ornaments

All About our Tree & the Ornaments

Description:

I took all these photos Christmas eve, reflecting how our family has grown to be a family. Not perfect, but we care about each other. There are roots put down, and a foundation to build on now. Thank you Lori, for your challenge, it so helped me put it all together!

JOURNALING: This year we had two trees. One was our grown up tree. the other is the family tree, decorated by the kids only. It is all their handmade ornamaents. This year, there was an ornament for each child with their photo on it. They love seeing their own ornamentsfront and center on the tree. The tree is filled with so many memories. It sia ll about the ornament and where they place them. December 2014

I started with one of Yin's freebie templates (love her double pages filled with room for lots of photos).

      I love your layout!  It really feels like home just looking at it!  What a great idea to have a family tree!  I only wish we had space for 2 trees at my house!  I also love Yin templates and have quite a few of her freebies in my stash!
