Christmas Activity Day 5

Our tree has been up for a week or so, but we hadn't had an afternoon to devote to the ornaments yet. It's always one of my favorite days of the year. We are ornament collectors and often bring home one or two from vacation adventures. I love to get them out and think about the places were were when we got them or the place in our lives we were when they were given to us. Some highlights this year were pulling out our "parents-to-be" ornament from 2006, and the first Christmas ornaments for each of the boys. Owen and I also fondly remembered our Seattle weekend where we OD'd on crablegs and spent a lot of time imagining that of all the cities we visited, that was one we could live in.

Sammy liked the balls the best (of course!) and Matthew had a great time proclaiming that all the Batman ornaments that Owen has collected were his. He also really liked one corner of the tree and concentrated all his hanging there. Since then, he has reconsidered and moved his ornaments around a bit.
