Our Ornaments

One of my favorite Christmas traditions Ben and I have is telling the story of each of our ornaments as we decorate the tree. There may be 1 or 2 ornaments that I can't remember where or why we have them, but that's it. We have family ornaments that range from pieces of Ben's baby mobile, ones he made as a child, some from his dad's childhood, to ones my grandmother made in honor of each family member's birthday. We have travel ornaments from our international travels: France, England, Italy, Switzerland, and so on. Then there's the New Orleans ornaments- they are a group all their own! Let us not forget the Auburn ornament group! We have a "yearly" ornament group to commemorate, you guessed it, that year. And this year, we started a Quinn collection. He already has 4! As corny as it sounds, I really hope he enjoys the ornaments as much as we do! And that the three of us will have many new ornament stories throughout the years!

With you as his examples I know without a doubt that they'll be very special for him and he'll keep this tradition going.

Q will love this tradition. My two are ornament addicts! We can't hang a single one until they discuss it in much detail! They're also already arguing over which ones they'll be taking with them when they move out on their own. Ahhhh... sibling rivalry at it's best!
