Ornament Exchange

For those of you who don't already know, every year for the past 9 years now, my mom has an Ornaments Exchange party with my sisters, Grandma and some times cousins.  A long time ago a few ladies in my ward started this.  It got so big and changed so many times that my mom stopped going and decided to do it with her girls instead.  We were all excited because for many years we have all helped her make her decorations for the Sisters in our ward.  So 9 years ago we had our first one as a family.  I have gotten so many cute and fun ornaments over the years.  My sisters and mom always make such cute things.  Some of my favorites over the years have been.....

  • Gold beaded glass ball that Jocie made
 
  • Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell, rock that Rebecca made
 
  • Blue snowflake chime Emily made
     
    • Personalized wreath Mom made for each of us
     
    • Hand made snowman that Deloris our cousin made
     
    • Painted Santa spoon Mariann made
     
    • Beaded Star TaNiesha made
     
    • Bird house Lea made
     
    • Glass heart painted on the inside that I made

    This year was no different, a lot of cute and fun ornaments that I will cherish forever!  

    • Grandma Watkins made a decoration with a Glass Basket, bird and trimmings in it
     
    • Mom made many different ornaments but we got to choose 3, these ornaments were from a wreath she made many years ago
     
    • Lea made a cute Sparkly Christmas tree decoration
     
    • Rebecca made a One Horse Soap and Sleigh
     
    • MariAnn made a cute crocheted Snowman glove
     
    • I made Snowflakes, which Tanner made for me last year in his 2nd grade class
     
    • Emily made a hanging decoration that says Joy

    Thank you everyone for the fun memories and priceless decorations/ornaments that I get each year!
