Neither of us know how it started, but each year Kaleb and I buy Hallmark Christmas Tree Ornaments, one for the two of us and one for each of our children. On our way home from purchasing our 2008 ornaments, we talked about other ornaments we had at home, from 2005-2007. We found it hilarious that not only did we purchase an ornament for ourselves in 2005, commemorating our first year of marriage, but also a Cutest Kitty ornament, because at that time, Diogie was our little baby. Here are some of our favorites, and the ones we bought this year. We are really glad that we started this tradition, because each year we will decorate our tree with ornaments that remind us of special memories we might not otherwise have been reminded of...
Our first ornament: First Christmas Together 2005
Cutest Kitty 2005: Diogie was such a spoiled little cat
2006: Nevaeh's 1st Christmas
Our Harry Potter ornament, that I think is from 2005, but we bought it after the holidays on sale. :-)
2008: Our ornaments from this year are special because we have another Baby's First Christmas ornament, and one that will always remind us of Nevaeh's obsession with Winnie-the-Pooh.
Hope you all have a fun time with your families as you decorate your own homes and participate in your own family traditions.

My family has done this since I was a baby. My siblings and I all have a great collection that my mom gave us when we moved out of the house. Brad and I now also carry on the tradition with our own family! It really is wonderful!
