Our oldest ornaments

Randy's family was not big on saving ornaments especially as his siblings and him grew up. Most of the ones that survived were made by Randy's grandmother, Grandma Honey. She loved to crochet and over the years made things for all her children, grandchildren and even some of her great grandchildren. She is no longer with us, but were blessed with knowing her and feel lucky to have a few things that she made.

The ornament below is humpty dumpty was especially for Randy and was a favorite of his.



The next two ornaments are snowflakes. Randy said he does not remember anyhting in particular about them except they were on the tree for years. He thinks that the red and white ornament was made the same year as humpty dumpty because they both have the same red yarn in them.




I do not have many ornaments from my childhood because most were lost during one of my parents' moves. My grandmother is still alive and active. She still has and uses most of the ornaments she has collected over the years.

The ornaments below were sent to me for the first Christmas of our oldest son, Anthony, in 1986. My grandparents got these for their tree for my first Christmas, in 1964. They sent these to me so I can share a small piece of my childhood with my chidren.
