Tree Treasure No. 1: Baby’s First Christmas

This “Baby’s 1st Christmas” ornament takes me straight back to 1990.

It was Bobby’s very first Christmas… our second baby, our growing family, our life shifting into that “two little ones under one roof” season. This ornament always reminds me of that stage; full, busy, sweet, and beautifully chaotic at times.

And now? He’s 35. Which makes this ornament feel even more like a little time capsule I get to unwrap every year. A reminder of who he was then and who I was then too.

It’s amazing how a tiny ornament can hold so much of a family’s story.

Do you have a “baby’s first Christmas” ornament on your tree too?

If you enjoy nostalgic holiday stories, I’m also sharing my Christmas memories in a new series called Christmas Stories Throughout the Years.
