O, Christmas Tree....

number 2. What seemed to fill up our teeny apartment for years is now a shrimp in the corner now. It has sentimental value though. And so we're using it now for our Memory Tree. As tradition dictates, each year we add one new ornament to our collection that is unique to our family's experiences that year. This year: our first home. This tree is the bearer of such memories.



A sneak-peak at years past:
2000-the Raleigh, NC LDS temple where we were married and sealed together for time and all eternity. Isn't that beautiful?
2001-BYU where we gracefully graduated with Bachelors degrees, Straight Arrow graduating with a 4.0 GPA, Summa Cum Laude, and the Valedictorian of his college!
2002-A tooth representing the journey we were embarking upon
2003-"K" for our firstborn child; a beautiful daughter
2004-an electric guitar as a memory of our brother, Brandon, who passed away
2005-"D" for our second born child; a wonderful son
2006-UNC Tarheels; the institution that made the husband a Doctor of Dental Science
2007-Mickey Mouse reminding us of fun times at Disney
2008-"C" for our third born child; a handsome son
2009-our beautiful home and another UNC Tarheels that granted a Masters and a Certificate of Orthodontics!
