Christmas is over but...

I still need to make my Christmas post! Decorating the tree at Christmas has always been one of my favorite things.  From making different ornaments to creating paper chains to stringing popcorn to throwing on tinsel, there's nothing that I don't love about the Christmas tree process! Here are a few of my favorite ornaments that hang on my family's Christmas tree every year:

My Grandma Ludwig cross-stitched all of these ornaments! There are little stockings for each member of the family and she even made extras before she passed so that we would be able to add names for her great-grandbabies. Isn't that the sweetest?

My dad made this one for my mom when they started dating...the glitter's held up surprisingly well!

 This one isn't really an ornament, but it's my all-time favorite Christmas decoration! My Grandma Jones made this Santa in a ceramics class that she took in the 60's and I've always loved it...it's even the reason that one of my life-goals is to take a ceramics class at some point! I've already claimed it for myself one day!!
