Happy hump day, and Christmas Eve eve!
Since we're so close to Christmas I thought I'd share with you some of my favorite ornaments on our Christmas tree for today's what's hap-"pinning" post!
I don't have any of the ornaments from when I grew up, yet, so I can't share those with you, but my sisters-in-law asked everyone at one of my bridal showers to bring an ornament to the shower so we could add them to our tree during our first married Christmas, which was last year.
It's always fun pulling these out and remembering who gave them to us, and the special time from my bridal shower, and our first Christmas as a married couple.
These are my top five favorite ornaments:
This one has a special place in my heart because MG and I got engaged in Philly, and the top of our wedding cake had this LOVE symbol on it (in silver), so it's a fun reminder of those two things. I always like putting it in the top center of the tree.
This one, my MIL's friend gave to us, and it's our wedding invitation in ribbons. I'd seen this online a bunch before we got married and loved the idea, but kinda forgot about it until I got this awesome gift last year for our first married Christmas.
This one came from my two sisters-in-law. Being an only child, I've always wondered what it was like to have siblings, specifically sisters, and marrying into this family I truly found out what it is to have sisters in my life. I talk to them weekly and confide in them like sisters. This one definitely has a very special place in my heart.
This one is special because it represents MG's and I first house together and celebrating our first Christmas together in our new house last year. This place will forever be our first home together.
This one I love just because it's so pretty and dainty and I feel like she's a little magical angel watching over us. Looking at it always makes me smile:
Now it's your turn to link up below and share with Jessi and I what's hap-"pinning" with you!

Love all of those, cannot pick a favorite. We are trying to start the tradition of ornaments to match life events as well.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet sentimental ornaments. I especially love the one with your wedding ribbons. Such a cute idea. I haven't seen that before. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteBringing an ornament to a bridal shower is such a good idea!!! I'm so glad you were gifted with so many sentimental ornaments.. I'm not an only child but I only have an older brother, so my sister-in-law is very special to me too. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love how your favorite ornaments are the ones with all of the memories attached to them, but I especially love the ornament with your wedding invitation in ribbons in the ball. Such a great way to remember a wonderful time in your life!
ReplyDeleteI love all of these!! Especially the LOVE one-- so sweet and special.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of your wedding invitation ornament! Also such a nice and special ornament that MG's sisters gifted you, I am an only child too so its nice when you invest in those people that you treat like your own sisters. Merry Christmas I hope you have a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteI love these! We decided this year we REALLY need to start collecting ornaments since we only have two sentimental ones on our entire tree - a first married Christmas and one from our honeymoon, it's so sad! Merry Christmas, girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteI did the wedding invitation ornament a few years ago. I'm glad I did before I lost track of our wedding memorabilia!
ReplyDeleteI love the one with your invite in ribbons. I should do that! I think I still have some from five years ago.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet is that? I love ornaments that have such great sentiment like that. Philly is one of my favorite cities! I loved living there.
ReplyDeleteI love your sentimental ornaments. The one from your wedding is so gorgeous! xo, Champagne&Suburbs
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the idea of everyone bringing an ornament to a shower. That is one I need to remember. I love the wedding invite one...my mom has been making those for the past few years and I think they are just so special!
ReplyDeleteSo so cute! Love the ornaments! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have very many sentimental ornaments-and I want some! I love yours they make the tree extra special with memories! Trish - tales from trish
ReplyDeleteAwe, I always love knowing the stories behind other people's ornaments! One of our close friends made the same ribbon wedding ornament for us but with our program instead of the invitation - it's my very favorite ornament!
