Christmas Ornaments

I thought I would post all of our Christmas Ornaments - and really, I just need to write it down so I can remember.  Ha ha!

2003
This was our very first Christmas together (engaged).  My aunt Rose gave us this ornament and started the tradition!

2004
This was the year that we lost our sweet Hannah, so this is her ornament.  We keep this ornament out year round.

2005
This year we bought our new house (well new to us).  We spent a lot of time remodeling the entire house.  We even painted our bedroom red, so we thought this ornament was perfect!

2006
This year we were able to go to Chicago!  While we were in Chicago we went on a tour of a few Frank Lloyd Wright houses.  They were amazing!  He is one of my favorite architects.  This is an ornament that is in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright.  We also leave this one up year round.  (as you can tell from the spider web, Oops!

2007
This was a big year for us in learning about adoption.  We were actually approved to adopt in Oct 2006, but it wasn't until 2007 were we really found out what adoption was all about.  We had a LOT of contacts with mothers that were considering adoption, were matched quite a few times, and had quite a few fall through.  This was a year of HOPE, JOY, and WISHing!

2008
This year we have a had a great year, but one of our fun outing was going to Disneyland with Rodney and Carrie.  We found this ornament in the shops there and couldn't pass it up.  I love snowflakes!

Which brings me to our wrapping paper this year.  I love it!  I just had to share!

I hope ya'll are having a very Merry Christmas Season!  Can you believe it is almost here?  
LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL FOR THE YEAR!  WOOOHOOO!

(sorry about the blurry pictures! :P)
