Johnny Tree



On Christmas Eve we made a memorial Christmas tree for Johnny's graveside. We made and decorated gingerbread cookies for ornaments and each family member wrote a love note to Johnny. We all gathered around and sang Christmas songs and shared a testimony. It turned out more beautiful than we imagined. What a great way to celebrate Christmas.

What a beautiful idea and a wonderful way to focus on what Christmas is really about--our Savior's mercy and love! I love this!
