Thanks Emily and thanks for featuring my bags. The family traditions we make and pass down are one of the reasons why Christmas is such a wonderful time of year. Now that my kids are getting older, I realize how much they matter to them too.
The bags are all filled and ready for Christmas morning. Can’t wait for everyone to see their gifts!
Have a wonderful Christmas

What a fun tradition! And I love the bags you created for gifting your ornaments. My mom still gives me, and now my husband, a special ornament every year. It’s the gift I most look forward to 🙂 Thank you for linking up to our Creative Spark Party – I’m featuring your festive ornament bags this week! Have a wonderful week!

Thanks Coco, I am really excited about gifting these this year. Don’t you love that as a parent we count the days down to give the gifts when as a child we counted the days to get the gifts. These are going to prompt some great laughter around the breakfast table on Christmas morning. 17 days!!!
Thanks for visiting.

Kisses, Lynn

Lynn, these are such fun traditions! I love the bag you made and the red snowflake is the perfect festive accent. I know the ornaments inside are really special to your family. I love that you search for just the right one and then get excited waiting for the reveal. That’s so sweet. Hugs, CoCo

In reply to Jessica. Oh Jessica, you are going to have so much fun seeing Christmas through the eyes of your 3 year old! I remember those days so well! Love my big kids, but this time of year I do wish I could shrink them back down to a 3-year old. Magical! Enjoy Christmas. Lynn

We had a few traditions growing up, but now that I am a mom, my husband and I are starting to figure out what traditions we want to make for our family. Our oldest turns three in a few days, so she is just starting to get excited about Christmas! It’s going to be so much fun this year!

In reply to lynn. I have one granddaughter who likes to knit, Hallmark had a ornament that is a ball of yarn with needles, so cute! Past hobbies and interests have been able to be translated into ornaments. But now they are getting older . Thanks for the new idea. Merry Christmas.

In reply to Rebecca.

Good Evening Rebecca, so glad you stopped by for a visit. Just had a lovely time waltzing through your blog…first of all, a very attractive blog. Your photography is quite lovely. And you will be so glad you’ve documented these days with Frey. I was never a journaler and now that my oldest is in college, I would love to be able to sit down and read the stories of when she was a baby.
You’ll have fun being Elf and Frey will be so fun at Christmas, it will surely be magical. Soak it up!
I’ve pinned your coconut and pistachio bark to add to our Christmas treats. Thanks for sharing it.

Have a great Sunday, Lynn

Hi Lindsey, thanks for stopping by today. You are at such a great place with your 3 year old…perfect time to starting new traditions. It’s so much fun to see the holiday through their eyes.
I enjoyed reading your post on finding the positive things in life…such a good reminder for us, every day, and especially during the busy holidays. Thanks for sharing it.

Hugs, Lynn
