Our Ornaments

Jenn had a cute blog idea of posting Christmas ornaments that were sentimental to you and wanted other people to play along. Jenn has had her post up for awhile and Sharon has a great blog sharing her ornaments too. I'm finally getting mine up. I'm not the most sentimental person - truly I'm not. Sometimes I can be about certain things, but I'm the girl who's wedding dress is in a garbage bag in our basement - sad, but true. So I picked out a few of the ornaments I liked and have some meaning.
I like this one because it's the first ornament we got after we were married! My mom and dad got it for us. I like these statue things.
I got this little pregnant bear when I was pregnant with Landen. Her hands are resting on her belly. LoL! I always do that when I'm pregnantThis is our family ornament for this year. Unfortunately they put Landen's name on the girl penguin and Amelia on the boy. Oh well... you have to have humor! It's still cute. We've been getting a family ornament every year so far.

We have a lot of hockey ornaments. This one is my favorite though because I like the marshmallow snowmen! This is Kurt's.

Every year we get the kids an ornament. I thought I would post both Amelia and Landen's first ornament. Actually they have more than one, but these are my favorites. Landen got a tractor this year because he's really into tractors.

I got this ornament the Christmas after we miscarried our baby. I hate to be a spectacle and was almost kind of like - "why did I get this" after I opened it, but I do really like it. Every Christmas when I get this out, he'll be remembered at this time as well.

This is Amelia's baby's first Christmas this year. Kurt's mom always finds the marshmallow snowmen and I just love them. Cute!

So there ya have it folks. A few of our ornaments we have on our Christmas tree. For those of you who haven't played along do. It's fun and I'd like to see what you have. It doesn't take that long to snap a few shots of your ornaments and you can always delete them later.

Aw! You know, we have an ornament, too, for the baby we lost. It's not personalized like yours, but it's a Christian one with quotes about the impact of ONE LIFE, not matter how short. (something like that). It feels somewhat morbid at times, but then I shrug that off. That baby is and always will be a part of our family. Sorry to ramble. It's just nice to see you have one, too.

Those are great Christmas ornaments! I'm not the most sentimental person either...so I'd probably have even less sentimental ornaments than you! I love the pregnant one though! :)
