A Few of My Favorite Things

For Christmas I received the second item in my most recent collection.  When I was preparing for a home of my own, I wanted to start collecting figurines from the Willow Tree figurines.  I remember always going to my Grandma's house and looking at her many Precious Moments in their glass home, and to me Willow Tree was my version of Precious Moments.  Without even telling anyone, I received my first Willow Tree (exactly the one that I wanted) as a wedding gift.  Then for Christmas, I received this one from my parents.

Each Willow Tree figurine that I have (the two of them) or the ones that I want to add to the collection have special meaning.  This one reminds me of the new addition to our family.  These symbolic figurines are what make them a few of my favorite things.
