~Christmas mittens~

Every year when I was growing up my Mom would give my brothers and I ornaments on the day we decorated the tree. They were usually reflective of us at that time of our life. Some are characters to movies we liked or sports that we were playing. All were special and all bring back wonderful memories of decorating the tree as a family. We always listened to the "John Denver and the Muppets" record, I know may sound strange, but it was wonderful! Now we have it on CD and my kids and I listen to it. These mittens have always been one of my favorites, they are from the year I was five. I now carry on the tradition with my kid and we now have enough ornaments for 3 trees, we have to pick and choose which ones make the tree each year!
