🌲❤️🌲One of my favorite ways to keep memories is with Christmas ornaments. We have a slim profile tree that is designated as our “Memory Tree”. Since our eldest was a baby, we would get an ornament each year where we would put a family picture in it. Now after our eldest is 19, our tree has 19 years of family picture ornaments plus other sentimental ornaments.
TIPS FOR CREATING YOUR OWN MEMORY TREE:
🌲 Find ornaments that have the year on it. This makes it easy to remember when that picture was taken.
🌲If you find a picture ornament you love that doesn’t have the year already on it, just write it on the front or back with a Sharpie.
🌲You can find a variety of picture ornaments in a wide range of prices. Of course there’s always the family Hallmark ornaments with the year on it, but you can also find picture ornaments at craft stores as well as many online retailers, like Amazon. The ornaments in the picture above are all from Amazon.
🌲Besides Christmas pictures, try to include other memories like yearly school pictures, family vacations, big milestones like 1st birthday, baptism, wedding, new home, new pets, etc.
