As if things weren't starting to look Christmas-y enough, we had a bunch of snow dumped on us on Sunday.
It was exciting because inside our house it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas too.
So this year I did something I’ve thought about doing for a long time, and got another Christmas tree to put in the family room where we spend most of our time in the winter.
For about the past four years I’ve just put up a matching set of ornaments that I bought for the tree in the living room and not gotten out any of my family ornaments because I just wanted to keep them safe.
BIG MISTAKE!
I pulled out those ornaments to stick on the new tree downstairs and I couldn’t believe how happy it made me to see every one of them.
Those ornaments pack a powerful Christmas memory punch.

So beautiful! I wish I was there helping you put the tree up. And yes, the old ornaments always pack a punch of sweet memories.
AH! So can I tell you that in the picture on the right, Cali totally looks like a gorgeous teenager?!?! Holy cow!
How fun to have another tree!
I have to admit, I'm turning into a sentimental softy myself. We had the decorator tree for several years too, but have switched to a more family oriented tree the past few years. I, like yourself, see my life pass before my eyes as we decorate now.
And I echo Marcie's comment about Cali. I too thought she looked very grown up.
