This is Nicholas' first ornament from 2001. After waiting years and years for his arrival, I couldn't wait to hang this on our tree. He was four months old his first Christmas.
We had no idea that the very next Christmas we would be hanging another baby ornament on the tree. Julia was also four months old for her first Christmas.
This ornament was given to me by an old boyfriend's sister-in-law. I thought it was such a sweet gesture.
My friend Sandy gave me this ornament after living in Vienna for a time.
This Santa ornament belonged to Danny's mom.
My sister Kim and I have a tradition of going shopping some place fun just days before Christmas each year. My sister bought this one for me on one of those trips.
Nicholas made this ornament in school last year at Little Blessings...my favorite school of all time.
I bought this dancer ornament for Julia last year for her first year in dancing school.
And this is my favorite ornament. The cradle. It was given to me by my dear friend Joann who helped me through those dark days of infertility. She gave it to me as a symbol of hope. She said her grandmother used to give a cradle ornament to her grandchildren when they were just married with hopes of having children someday. It guess it really works...
