Christmas Tree Fun!

Ok, as promised, here is the Strotz Family Christmas Tree! I couldn't get a good picture that showed the lights well, but I'm sure you can imagine :-). It is far from my mom's Christmas tree that is COVERED with ornaments, but we seem to gain a few more every year. Here are a few of my favorites...

3rd place goes to Youngest Child (mom's favorite)

*

The funny story behind this is, I happened to be the first to open my orament from mom that year. You can bet my siblings were up in arms over my ornament, until they opened their own and found Oldest Child, Middle Child (mom's favorite) ornaments for themselves! (They will still argue that I am the true favorite though!)

2nd place goes to Rich and Angela's first Christmas

I don't think I need to explain why this is in my top three because it's so cute! Plus, even when Rich and I are extremely old, we'll still remember what year we got married :-).

1st place goes to Cheerleader Angela!

My cheer coach made these for each of us our senior year and this mini Angela makes me smile every year when I put her on the tree. If you saw a picture of my uniform you'd realize how amazing our coach was... this one is identical! ... which gives me an idea for later posts!

Rich's Favorite

Rich of course had to join in the fun of picking your favorite ornament, but he was NOT in the spirit, so I let him get away with only choosing one, and is it any surprise that he picked the nascar helmet of Tony Stewart? :-) Who by the way is not his favorite driver anymore, if anyone finds a Carl Edwards helmet, please alert me!
