Our tree this year

White spruce that my husband and son cut at a tree farm this year. A lot of it had to be trimmed so that it wouldn't hit the ceiling at it was 14 ft when they brought it in. I like a tree with open branches. We collect trinkets from our travels around the world to use as ornaments on our tree. I thought I'd photograph a few this year.

Ornaments from Alaska and Hawaii

Ornaments from Cambodia

Homemade ornaments, from Asia, ornaments with special meaning & Caleb with his own small tree and ornament collection

  3. what a gorgeous tree! And I love all the precious ornaments--they are beautiful! :) I like the space in the tree, too--we got used to those in Germany--and the ones we buy here are so very full. :)

  4. Beautiful! I do the same thing...instead of collecting other trinkets, I collect ornaments from my travels around the world too. It's fun to pull them out every year and remember all of the places I have gone.

  5. That is a gorgeous tree! Thanks for sharing your home decorations. We don't have room for a real tree this year, so it is nice to see someone else's.
