Stupid Hormones...

First, a little back story.  Every year, Nick and I get each other a Christmas ornament.  It's fun to look for the perfect one, and it's fun to see the ones from previous years and reminisce about Christmases past.  We've been doing this since Christmas #1, so we each have 6 ornaments from the other on our tree.  (Of course, we also got married at Christmastime, so we have roughly a million "First Christmas Together" ornaments, a lot of which are ugly.) 

Anyway, this year, I've had a hard time finding one that I liked.  Then, I ran across some Willow Tree ornaments, which I think are gorgeous.  He got me one of them one year (2004?), and I love it.  I was thinking to myself, "Oh! Maybe they have a father and son one? That would be cute!"  Well, they don't, but they do have some figurines that are adorable.  That's when my hormones decided to kick in for some reason, and I found myself getting choked up looking at FIGURINES!  Figurines, for Pete's sake!

First, it was this one.



Then, this one blew up my screen.



As if THAT wasn't bad enough, this one hit me right in the gut.



The icing on the cake was this one.



I have one thing to say to you, Willow Tree.  You and I are broken up for the rest of the day.  Don't call again.

I've seen many pregnant lady ornaments in magazines and they always get me.

well first of all I love the new layout. Beautiful. A+ Nick! And second of all I'm so so sorry. We have Willow Tree everywhere here but if you want I can break them all to pieces. I'd do it for you :)

My mom gives me an ornament every year, she started when I was in my teens, so I have 20+ ornaments and it is fun to look back on the various ones through the years. I hope you have many, many years or ornaments to come!
