My dear friend had her first child this year and I wanted to make her an ornament for her  childs' first Christmas tree. Some years ago my friend and I were on a "girls" vacation at Lake Placid, New York, it was just this same time of year, winter, pre 
Christmas. We stayed at a wonderful place, snow everywhere and a fireplace around every corner. In the evening we would have dinner, grab some hot cider and play scrabble. I thought it would be a good idea to incorporate a memory into her baby girls gift.The babies name is Avery but as I was setting out the letters I realized that if I put a bit of space between the A & the V,  I could incorporate a Christmas message. A Very Merry Christmas. 

Another good friend saw the ornament and liked it so much that I thought it would be fun to make Christmas tree ornaments for her entire family.
