These are the history books of our life... each one documenting a chapter of life and love... the twists and turns that tie us to those we love... the stories and memories and moments that have led us, one page at a time. We also have a time capsule...
Each year, we unroll layers of tissue and bubble wrap and relive the story of us. Childhood treasures...
Hobbies past & present... trinkets that bring a vacation back to life. And most of all, we recall the moments of where we began...
and how small these little hands used to be.
thank you, emily, for inspiring us to see our everyday moments in this season that can be chaos!

So great...your tree looks so pretty.....love the little hands ornaments!
family ornaments are so precious - itn't nice to stop and appreciate the little things? love the title of your blog and love the background song
Great moments and such awesome ornaments to capture how much the kids have grown! :-)
Beautiful post! We have so much to cherish!
The ornaments on my tree make me cry (happy tears) pretty much every year. They are the history of our family hanging on those lovely fake evergreen branches. :)
These moments are beautiful. I love those little hands inside big ones. When did they grow up, exactly? How does that happen?! And I hope this isn't a stupid question, but are those really volumes of your family stories there in that first photo? If so, that is way way cool.
hi emily... those family stories are my scrapbooks... our life in pictures and the stories that run along beside.
you are going to need a bigger tree! i love it...that's how i hope ours will continue to look like.
Isn't it great to carefully unwrap all of those special ornaments every year? We decorate our tree with those, too. And as we decorate, we talk and remember and just be together. Those little hands are precious and I bet they become even more precious as your children grow.
oh! this is a good post. I came by from emily's. thanks so much for sharing! Kelly
Great post! I love seeing those handmade ornaments each year! We even have a few that I made when I was a child hanging on our tree. Happy Holidays!
