Christmas tree

Every year we purchase an ornament or two for our Christmas tree, either from a place we visit that year, a place we have lived, or to mark a special event.  So our Christmas tree is always a precious conglomeration of our family memories, accumulated over the past 15 years.  I did not want to even put the tree up this year, but Kate and Charlie wanted it, so of course we did.  And I figured this year I probably would not purchase a new ornament, but instead I found one to put Ryan's picture in.  The 2016 tree ornament contribution is an American flag, with a teardrop, and Ryan's photo.  We are calling it the Daddy ornament.
