Finding treasures from my childhood makes my heart so very happy. ❄️ Winters of beautiful deep white snow and long glistening icicles hanging off the house, sledding and ice skating on the pond behind my home; these are my childhood memories. I found these old skates and sled in my mother’s basement and decided to use them on our front porch for our winter decor. My dad, who is deceased, was someone who enjoyed snowstorms and a frozen pond to skate or sled on and especially enjoyed sharing them with his kids. ❄️⛄️❄️⛄️
My mother was the master of making delicious hot chocolate on these cold magical snow days after spending time outside playing!
Dig around your home and find those old treasures that bring a smile to your face and joy to your soul, reminding you of precious times from long ago.
I know my dad is with me right now as I put these treasures out on our front porch, with a grin on his face and a twinkle in his eye. 😊 #memories #winter #family

I have such incredible memories of ice skating on the pond behind your home! Your dad would clear the snow off and test the ice to make sure it was safe to skate. One time he built a bonfire beside the pond for us to warm our hands! Your dad was amazing!!

What a wonderful find!!! Your dad was such a wonderful, nice guy & I’m sure he loved his girls. I was in your moms 5th grade class when she left at semester to give birth to Gretchen, so I’ve known your family for many years. I can just see your dad ice skating out there on the pond – thanks for reminding us all to search out those long lost treasures that might be tucked away in our family homes & bring them to the forefront again to evoke such warm wonderful memories of the ones we love & hold dear. Merry Christmas!!
