This first one is of the ornament I purchased this year. We have a family tradition between the kids and I in that we always get a new ornament to add to the tree every December. I found this one, hand-carved from Peru, at a quaint little shop at the mall. It makes me happy looking at it.
The second one of the first "remodel" projects we did on the house. We removed the old chandelier and hung the new one in its place. Behind the light is a piece of art done by my Grandfather. It is made entirely out of wood and is modeled after a hall in St. Meinrad's. My Grandfather went to seminary school to become a priest, but changed his mind and decided he wanted to get married and start a family. Still, St. Meinrad's always held a special place in his heart. I love that it graces our wall now.
