My grandmother gave each of us an ornament that she individually chose for each of us every year. When I got my first tree, all I needed was lights. She's gone now, but I still have all of those ornaments, and each one has a story and a memory of her attached to it.
I have a tree full of ornaments, from years past , that my kids will one day take to their home. It’s a special tradition that their Grandmother started. Now I do with my grandkids as well. ❤
@@DoughertyDozen I do even for ornaments given to me. Also my mom and sister started putting each child's ornaments in individual bags. They put their own on the tree and reminisce about them. It's such a wonderful time.
It's a bit of a drive for you however look up Alexander's tree farm for ornaments if you get in a pinch youd definitely have even better luck then the cracker barrel haul. they have the cutest stuff and an interesting like 12+foot wall of ornaments or at least they used to It's in dansville ny on sterner road so like an hour south from you
Oh my goodness, those ornaments are so cute. And I might steal your idea of getting an ornament for my twins to represent what they’ve been into for that year! I got my daughter a ramen ornament this year & my son a boxing gloves ornament.
Yeap. We got most of ours at Cracker Barrel this yr. We love getting ours in Pigeon Forge, TN at one of those ornament stores but we didn't make it this yr. Cracker Barrel did not disappoint :-)
I love the fact u get them there favorite things they are into in Christmas ornaments so meaningful i did that with my daughter they were all adorable what cool store 🎄🎁🎅⛄xxx
One Christmas in the fall (October) on a trip to NC mountains, I did most of my Christmas shopping at a Cracker Barrel outside Greensboro!! Everybody loved their gifts.
Can't wait to see the new vlog and hope you guys have a great Friday evening and night with the kids and a wonderful weekend ahead and can't wait to see you get Christmas ornaments for the Christmas tree and hope the kids have some fun decorating the Christmas tree.
Loved this video. Brings me back to my childhood. My mom got my brother and I an ornament every year that was specific to each of us. The kids will have so many good memories when they have their own trees.
I do the same thing with my kids a “theme” ornament each year and I put the year on it if it doesn’t already have it. Plus my spouse and I also do the same. We said over 20yrs ago if we can’t afford anything for us totally ok but we will always give each other a ornament. Homemade or not. ❤️ Such a memorable and fun tradition. Thank you for sharing. Oh and Cracker Barrel huge hit ! I need to check if they have anymore in MN. 😊
Coming from a small family I find it so interesting to see how big families function. Your football player son who gave a speech at football dinner gave a great speech. He was grateful for his birthday gifts and said thank you for many of them. No reminder to say thank you is impressive. I’ve watched a few videos and I keep thinking, “I hope she gets points or cash when u shop., or have the Fidelity credit card where the cash goes into a stock brokerage account. Cheers!
Oh my gosh❤❤😊😊❤❤ the camera is so preety ❤❤ want to have this ❤❤❤ ❤❤❤ Alicia you are great❤❤❤ thank you ❤❤ you give me christmasfeeling - but i Look your Video on Rhein road to the dentist my teeth hurt so much 😢😢 hope for me ❤❤❤ 3 days ago its hurts so much but iam so scary go to dentist😢😢❤
@@DoughertyDozen it is ♡♡♡ thanks for thinking of me ♡♡ it helps ♡♡ Root canal treatment .... the anesthesia lasted 5 hours But now I'm feeling much better
Those are the absolute cutest ornaments, they make my ❤ feel all tickly and tingly!!! Great job picking them out, you are the best Mom and the kids will treasure those for the rest of their lives😊 How special, a gift from your heart to their heart! Plus, they have a starter kit for their first tree as adults, awe! We have Bronners here in MI, its a gigantic Christmas store (open year round) and its world famous! A must see if you are ever here! Thanks for sharing, I totally enjoyed this video❤😊
For some odd reason, my parents only ever took us to cracker barrel if we were on a road trip somewhere so I associate it with misery 😂 I remember learning that people go there just like a normal restaurant and not only for trips and it blew my mind
Oh Alicia, you are such a thoughtful and amazing mom! Even if the young kids don't necessarily appreciate the ornaments yet (maybe they do) I ASSURE you they will LOVE them as adults. Such a great tradition!!
I got the cutest ornaments at Cracker Barrel this year! I ended up having to join their rewards program. We went on 2 road trips last month and ate at CB like 6 times. Our last meal we had already earned a free appetizer!
What a special and thoughtful tradition, and such a personal way to reflect each child's personality. Love this idea.
When your children see what you choose for them they will love the thought behind your finds! Happy holidays!
Happy Holidays ⛄🎁🧡

Amen to Dayshawn
We have a shop like this in the UK called Christmas magic that pops up every year for the festive season. Though it’s much more expensive than this 😂😂

When you searched for Jason's ornament, were you looking for something random???

I thought for sure you were going to get the M&M one for Bodhi since they’re his favorite 😊
I really debated it. But he’s been talking about Garfield all week I couldn’t resist him 😂
For some odd reason, my parents only ever took us to cracker barrel if we were on a road trip somewhere so I associate it with misery 😂 I remember learning that people go there just like a normal restaurant and not only for trips and it blew my mind
Sorry ment bless
I was in our local CB store on Thursday. I bought so many things. I love their gnomes!
Oh Alicia, you are such a thoughtful and amazing mom! Even if the young kids don't necessarily appreciate the ornaments yet (maybe they do) I ASSURE you they will LOVE them as adults. Such a great tradition!!
Thank you! 🎄🎄🎄
I love how hard you try to find something meaningful for each of them 🥹🧡
Thank you! 🎄
Your site has become an advertisement! Cracker Barrel is paying you as well as the consumer products companies of the ornaments you bought...
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🧡🧡🧡
I got the cutest ornaments at Cracker Barrel this year! I ended up having to join their rewards program. We went on 2 road trips last month and ate at CB like 6 times. Our last meal we had already earned a free appetizer!
Absolutely love the individual ornaments for each kids interest and boy oh boy I could have melted some plastic in that store lol 💕🎄👱♀️😉
So happy for Dayshawn and love this family tradition! ❤️
Patrick likes Jute Boxes?
I was repeating, "chicken soup for Zoey" over and over 😅
Great choices mom ❤❤❤
😂😂😂
I thought you had 12 kids
One left.
@@PattiL4401 weird. I wonder why
@@InspirationEmPire25if I am not mistaken biological mom or dad wanted her back so she left
She counts her and her husband as 2 members of the daughtery dozen .
Ok
