White House Ornament Wreath - May 13, 2011

    When I moved into this house in 1990 in northern Virginia, I started to collect the yearly White House Christmas tree ornaments.  I started to put them on this wreath in the entry way,  but then I had to start hanging them on the Christmas tree.   I have 21 White House tree ornaments in this collection.  I bought the new one designed each year.
