Growing up, my parents had a tradition of buying us kids an ornament for Christmas. We got to open the ornament on Christmas Eve before going to my grandma's house. It was always so fun to see what they looked like and to hang them on the tree. We each have 25 ornaments. My Dad also buys my mom an ornament each Christmas. So you do the math... there were a ton of ornaments on our tree every year! My parents decided to stop at age 25, and they gave us all our ornaments for Christmas that year.
We decided to carry on this tradition with Ava. Last weekend we bought her first ornament. It's adorable. (Will post a picture of it in the future). When she gets older it will be fun to show her the ornament that my parents got me when I was her age.

This is what I was hoping for many years ago. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did! They tell a story of your life.
Love this tradition. :)
We do this too with our kids! I like to pick one that reminds us of something from that year. This year Madeline is getting a swimmer ornament and Eli is getting one for tae kwon do.
Ava will be so glad that you are doing this for her. I love looking through my ornaments every year. Apparently I used to really like cats and tweety bird :)
