Thursday Thirteen

David and I purchased Emily a live Christmas Tree this year, her very first, and her favorite part was helping us put on all our family ornaments.

We have quite a collection and all are very special to us, especially the Li Bein ornaments Gran buys us every year.

Thirteen ornaments on our tree:

1. The "Our 1st Christmas Together" ornament David & I bought in 2005 when we got married.
2. The "Baby's 1st Christmas" ornament we bought in 2006 when Emily was born.
3. The Li Bein ornament Gran bought for Emily in 2006.
4. The Li Bein ornament Gran bought for us in 2006.
5. The Li Bein ornament Gran bought for Emily in 2007.
6. The Li Bein ornament Gran bought for us in 2007.
7. The set of 3 hand-made beaded star ornaments I received at the Bunco Ornament exchange 2008.
8. The photo ornament we bought and put Emily's photo in 2008.
9. The Li Bein ornament Gran bought for Emily in 2008.
10. The Li Bein ornament Gran bought for us in 2008.
11. The 12 Days of Christmas ornament set we bought in 2009.
12. The Stars Hockey Team ornament we got at Emily's 1st hockey game 2009.
13. The whale ornament we bought this year for Emily, as 2010 was the year of the "open-mouth" whale.

We also have a collection of glass ornaments we've bought from Crate & Barrell after Christmas each year (you know I love a great sale!) and a 50-count set of "shatterproof" ornaments we picked up at Target this year for Emily to hang all on her own.  I have to tell you, not one has broken!  :)
