Christmas Tree 2011

CheriGENERAL

Our tree.
It’s very different from the trees we decorated when
the kiddos were little.
Each year since their birth, our kids were given ornaments for Christmas.
Ornaments came from grandparents, aunts & uncles, us and their friends. 
Those ornaments are now sorted into 3 boxes, one for each kid. 
This is our 2011 Christmas tree.
and our 2010 Christmas Tree
The 2009 Tree
and the 2008 Tree
