Heirloom ornament

I don’t have a fancy Christmas tree. But I have a tree that’s filled with handmade ornaments of my children and my grandchildren. Ornaments from places that we have travel. Ornaments that I made, and ornaments that were gifts from friends. We feel like we are traveling back in time when we decorate our Christmas tree every year. This particular ornament is one that my daughter Lindsay made when she was just a little girl. It is very precious to me and I love the memories that it brings up about what a special sweet little girl she was. Just like an angel.
