I'm not doing too well on this blogging everyday thing, am I?? With class parties and baking this last week, it's been sorta crazy! The saddest part for me is that I haven't been able to read other peoples blogs, which is my favorite thing to do!! So today, I thought I would combine some ornaments and decor to play a little bit of catch up! Anyone who knows me, knows my love for angels! When mom let us go pick out an ornament, I fell in love with this angel ornament, the clay type. Something about those clay ornaments, I love! They are so unique to me! So I have ended up with a bunch of these on my tree!
I found this cookie jar one year after Christmas, during the big sales! I thought I would get it ahead of time to give to someone for Christmas the following year, but of course when the next Christmas came around, I loved it too much. What's on it?? A clay Angel! I just wish I could change the Happy Holidays to Merry Christmas! That's all I have to say about that!My first Christmas as a Mama!! My mother-n-law gave this to me! I love it! The star that floats behind it says, "Angels are mommies with wings." With the way I took the picture you can't see the wings on the mommy, but they are there! I always think of how special that first Christmas with Caleb was, watching him open up his first set of Christmas gifts! So this holds a lot of memories for me! Thank you Lori!Another Angel ornament that I love!! I believe Beau and I were together for our second Christmas during our dating years. We were having our Christmas with his parents, and remember I'm just the girlfriend. So I felt extremely special when Lori pulled out gifts from under the tree from Beau's grandma Ruthie, and there was a gift for me!! Lil' ol' Me!! I don't know if she knew my love for angels, or she just happened to get it right, but this was definitely special to me. It still is!! I felt so loved! I just love the memories that can flash when you pull one item out of your Christmas boxes!

I agree, an angel should be SHOUTING "MERRY CHRISTMAS" and NOT
implying "happy holidays". What were they thinking? I can understand why you treasure the gift from G'ma Ruthie. Sometimes the sweetest and dearest gifts are the unexpected ones!
Merry Christmas!
