This first picture shows the red one with some green mixed in. That old owl in the lower left corner of the picture has been in my family for generations. There were originally three of them, and when I and my cousins were young and went to visit grandma and grandpa at Christmas time, our job was to find all three of them. So, it holds a lot of precious memories for me.
And over on the other side of the grape vine tree are two more that they made for us this year. That one on the right wants to pull me right in, like a vortex or a whirlpool. Pretty nice, aren't they?
OK, want to see the whole tree? Well, here it is:
Even though we didn't have a Christmas tree, that didn't stop the grandkids from giving us their hand made ornaments and the old grapevine tree volunteered to substitute as our Christmas tree. That way, we can enjoy their gifts all year long. I sure hope you had a great Christmas season and you all have a great day, you hear?
Handmade grandkid ornaments beats all store bought ornaments by a wide margin.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fact, you got that right Barney. An of course they will be cherished.
DeleteThat's the best kind of tree! Makes me think of some of the trees Bill & I have had over the years... more love than style ;-)
ReplyDeleteYep, it is a permanent fixture in the living room.
DeleteI think the grapevine tree looks as pretty as a pine! Great decorations.
ReplyDeleteThanks Gypsy, we think so too. Always had a fresh cut spruce for a Christmas tree, but not in the last few years.
DeleteI love the tree what a great idea and of course all the handmade ornaments are the best ever
ReplyDeleteHand made is better and my wife is very good at making things.
DeleteThat is so precious!
ReplyDeleteYes, that is the perfect word to describe it.
DeleteLOVE it, and tell them how much i love their additions.
ReplyDeleteI will tell them the next time I see them. Thanks.
