Oh christmas tree...

Every year, the night we put up the tree, the kids each get to open an ornament that "represents" the year for them. It is one of our favorite traditions. Here are this years additions to our tree:

Joshua took the football world by storm

Aybra pursues her love of all things musical

Corben turns everything he touches into an art project

Zachary and his obsession with construction

Ellasen and her many one sided phone conversations

Mine and Brents - In honor of THIS

I think I might "steal" this tradition of yours. My kids are still young enough that I am trying to think of new traditions we can do for our family. This one looks like a keeper! Where do you get your ornaments? And, wow, when did you get your tree? I was just over there yesterday!

I love the taxi. What a happy looking driver. Michael turned to me and said, "Hu--she lets her kids ornaments all about them on their tree." I had to laugh and remind him that we have the same tradition! Love it.
