we wish you a merry christmas.

Claire's (non-Oma)Grandma has a tradition that I think is pretty sweet. A couple of years ago she showed up at our house with a box of ornaments dating back to 1977 and Nate's first Christmas. My favorites were the ones made by Nate's small hands- macaroni strands and globs of glue. I decided that it would be fun to give Claire her own box of ornaments one day, so this afternoon we attempted a little photo shoot. My idea was for the girl to hold a piece of paper with a Christmas message and the date and then I'd slide the photo into an ornament that I picked up at Target this afternoon. This little project was not without its challenges.

Cute. My parents would give us kids a new ornament on our stockings every Christmas. By the time I left for college... I had no less than 18 ornaments for my own collection. I had all the ones I did (created) when I was a kid plus the ones they gave us each year. I also buy an ornament each time we go on vacation with the year on it (or I put it on it somewhere)... but only to places that we hadn't been before. :-D
