The kids have certainly matured (but apparently Mom hasn’t)

When the kids were young I loved to make Christmas tree ornaments with their photos. 

Sometimes the ornaments were store bought and I just inserted a photo from the previous year:

And sometimes they were handmade, either by the kids (a Brownie or school activity) or by me, with materials like baby food jar lids and lace remnants:

The last time I made ornaments like these was in 1994, but when the Target Dollar Store had little frame ornaments last week, I couldn’t resist!

I had no choice but to add their names and the year because really, it’s been so long that there just seems to be no consistency or similarity!

I think maybe I’ll do this again in 2019!  Think their kids would help me?
