Christmas Tree Ornaments

Like many of you, my family had the tradition of getting a new ornament each year for Christmas that would represent something we each did that year. We still have all of ours at my mom's house, which makes it fun to go home and see them all on the tree. Nick and I started doing the same. The only one missing is from our time in California this summer-I just haven't found the right ornament yet. Here are some of the great things we have done during the last 2 years captured forever in Christmas tree ornaments!

When you combine all the years both Nick and I spent at BYU it adds up to 11! That definitely deserves an ornament :)

We were able to go with the family to pick up Peter from his mission in Alaska-thanks Mom & Dad Jepsen! I love this ornament with the northern lights in the background!

This helps me remember how cute my Kindergarten students really were!

A trip to Philadelphia to visit Candy & Tony-we miss you guys.

Riding on the Polar Express with the niece and nephews. It doesn't get much better than that.

Semester in Nauvoo. Some of my best and most long-lasting friends were made there. There is no way to express how much I love that place. Nick and I got to visit before they tore down the Joseph Smith Academy. I'm glad I got to share it with him.

Our first Christmas.

Two summers in DC (and many years to come).
