Today is a big day for my best friend. She is going into the hospital tonight for her baby to be induced. To say I'm excited is an understatement! I feel so excited but also so nervous too. I can't wait until she has her little boy! I got her a very cute ornament on Saturday to commemorate the birth of her first baby. I can't wait to send it to her.
Speaking of ornaments, has anyone looked at the Hallmark Ornaments coming out this year? I looked at them online first and then went to Hallmark the other day and picked up my own copy of the Dreambook. Yesterday I sat on the couch while Sean was watching the Olympics, just marking the ornaments I wanted and ones I wanted to buy for others. There are so many cute ones this year!
There are two in particular that I would really like to have.
The first one is the second in a series, called Doorways Around the World. This year is Mexico, last year was Germany (which I picked up on Ebay yesterday)

I love the ornaments that light up and have sound clips. The Grinch one that I like does.

My mom has been getting my brother and I ornaments each year for Christmas for a long time.
This year I've already ordered an ornament for Sean. It's a little apron with grilling tools in the pockets and it says Grill Master on the front of the apron. I think it's a nice tradition to carry over from my family to ours.
So does anyone else have ornament traditions? Any series that you collect? Any that you can't pass up?
