Ornaments

My favorite part of decorating for Christmas is hanging the Christmas ornaments.  More specifically, it is unwrapping the ornaments each year.  Some of them are from my childhood or from Andrew's childhood, and we cherish those.  Some of them are from trips our family has taken together and we love those as well.  My favorite though, are often the ornaments that belong to our children.  Many of them represent interests or activities they've had during the year, and many of them are from special loved ones who are no longer with us.  I remember that in 2008, all seven of my grandmother's great-grandchildren went to Disney World, and my grandmother cross-stitched each of them a Disney-themed ornament.  Robert got Mickey Mouse, Catherine received Belle, and Thomas's was Lightning McQueen.  I made sure last year that the ornament Thomas received from us was football, because I knew that was a one & done activity.  Whenever possible, the year and giver are written on the ornament, and if that isn't possible I try to include it on the box (if it came in one).  This year because Robert is still in training, he doesn't have his own tree, so I am planning to still hang his ornaments on our tree.  When we take them down though, I will be packing them separately in their own box so that he can have them next year if that works for him.  I will miss unwrapping and looking at those ornaments throughout the season.  Would it be too neurotic to take a picture of each one???
