When me and Mike were dating he found out about my obsession and for Christmas that year he bought me some really cute Strawberry Shortcake Collectible ornaments in this really cute tin. (He also knew my liking for the ORIGINAL Strawberry Shortcake. I thought that was so sweet! Little did I know that he had it all planned out, that it would be a tradition, that every Christmas he would buy me a special ornament to add to my collection. It has been fun to see what ornament I get each year! And so far, I have LOVED them all!
My very first ornaments given to me by Mike!
My ornament our first year of being married! I was pregnant with Joey so he bought me a cute stork holding a baby boy! It was actually quite sad...somehow it broke while in my stocking and to this day we still have not fixed it! Hopefully someday :)
My ornament for our 2nd year! This ornament I just love! It is gorgeous! It is a Christmas Tree in a globe that has snowflakes all over it! You hook the ornament up to the lights on the tree and the tree inside the globe changes to different colors! I love it!
My 3rd year ornament! This one is really cool too! It is a 3-D puzzle of the Salt Lake Temple!
And this year! I opened it early this year so it could be on our tree for longer! I was really excited when I opened this one! My cousin Angee gets these really cute family ornaments each year and Mike saw me looking at them and saw how much I loved them and Viola!
Joey is on the left, Myra in the middle and Emma on the right! And I love snowman so it was perfect!
I also have enjoyed having an ornament for each child on our tree!
Joey's: It is a pair of mittens (which I thought was very fitting since he was born in December) with a precious moments baby on it!
Emma's: It is a cute bear holding 3 blocks that have ABC on them!
Myra's: We have an Angel for her! Short's Funeral Chapel gave us this when she passed away and I cried! It was so perfect for her ornament!
I am also excited now that my kids are getting older, they can make me ornaments! :) Joey made this ornament in Sunbeams!
Our Relief Society gave each Woman one of these ornaments for Christmas this year!
I got a lot of ornaments this year! :) When we went to Boise around Thanksgiving time, Kareena gave me this ornament because she knew my love for Frogs!
And here are my 2 favorite snowman ornaments!
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!

those ornaments are great! I love ornaments too. Our tradition since we were dating has been to buy each other an ornament. We usually pick one out that has meaning from the year. Like a couple of years KG had really been looking forward to a particular movie hitting the theater so I gave him an ornament from that movie. We write what year we gave to on the bottom. When Cat in the Hat came out he gave me that ornament. We also usually open them the night we put the tree so it's starts Christmas presents early! Last year we gave each other one and also a family one but this year to cut cost we decided on just a family ornament. The ones I posted on my blog are from personalcreations.com. I LOVE that store! I do half my Christmas shopping there every year!
Cute ornaments! I wish I could see them on your tree! Guess what we put on our tree this year! We found an ornament that you had made with your cute little picture on it! We'll have to give it to you so your kids can see it! Merry Christmas! Mom
