Christmas Ornaments Part 2
Our Christmas ornaments are all special to us. Jeanine's godmother, Nancy Freauff always sent Jeanine a handcrafted ornament. We could always tell what Nancy's latest passion was by the ornament: smocking, cross stitching, sewing, embroidery and tole painting. Can you find examples of these on the tree? Can't find the tole painting ornament you say. Alas, it didn't survive a summer of flying up an down the staircase on a little Christmas tree when the girls were playing "Christmas". In recent times we have received White House Ornaments from daughter Jennifer and Secret Service Ornaments from daughter Jeanine. Secret Service Ornaments? Who knew they even existed!
