Enjoy your tour!
Our shoes lined up under the tree in order of David, Kellie, Grace, and Ethan (borrowing a pair of David's from when he was a little boy)
David's favorite ornament slides up to reveal a nativity
One of my shiny ornaments...this one dates back to my days of scooping ice cream at Baskin Robbins
The painted gourd ornament on the right is from the Salem Art Fair
I have always loved the ice skates! These were made by my great grandmother.
Check out the crafty skills on this beauty. I made this cork horse when I was 8 and it still hangs proudly on my tree.
I know I'm not the only woman out there with sports figures displayed on their tree. Mario is next to the Margaret Furlong sea star ornament we bought on our honeymoon visit to Cannon Beach.
Yoda is hiding behind one of Grace's ornaments that Oma made for her. And another one of my sparkly ornaments sneaks on the tree!
Our pretty star tree topper and wooden cranberry bead garland are goodies I snagged while working at Macy's Christmas Store one year.
The snowman in the canoe is from our first year of marriage when we decided to canoe Lake Couer d'Alene. It's a testament to our love for each other that we're still married after that experience! The nifty mask is from when we saw Lion King the musical.
The red drum set is my new ornament for the year (I rock the drums on Rock Band!) and the gorgeous handpainted ball ornament depicts a scene from the University of Idaho campus.
Ah here he is. The famed wrestling Santa. And you thouht I was kidding.

What fun memories with each ornament. Thanks for sharing.
Awe! I LOVE the ice skates and the cork horse! I'm going to copy/paste those pics so we can make those someday!
I love how each one holds a memory. Our tree is the same way - a little of this and a little of that. No themed trees here - or... I guess you could say it's themed with memories :)
I love your tour. You have some really great ornaments....love how they all have a "story" behind them.
