Ornaments

Although this weekend got off to a rough start, it ended well. I had a great time yesterday relaxing and just enjoying some quality time with Sean and Boomer. We made tons of food this weekend. Sean grilled chicken and corn yesterday and made some mashed potatos, I made green enchiladas on Saturday night and yesterday afternoon I made spinach dip. Sean is off work today and I think he's already ate most of the spinach dip, I told him he had to leave some for me!

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?
