"Special" Ornaments
Wednesday, December 2, 2009
These are my favorite Christmas ornaments--some funny, some sentimental. Enjoy!
Here is our Gator Santa...we hope that Tebow will act like Santa and bring us another SEC and National Championship this year :)
Here is the peacock. First, it is BEAUTIFUL. Second, there is a great story behind it. A friend and I call certain men "peacocks" because SOME men are bright and flashy and beautiful, but they are just dumb birds on the inside...you have to look past the bright and flashy men and find yourself a man worth marrying, because all those flashy feathers will fade, but their insides will not.
This is a Russian ornament I received from a student last year. It is a handmade fabrege egg. 
Here is our "first home" ornament I received form a GREAT friend when we bought our house in August.
Our "first married wedding" cake ornament. 
Our Rockettes ornament that we got last year when we went to NYC for Christmas...boy was it COLD.
And a kitty climbing the tree...MY WORST FEAR. I hope my sweet baby doesn't climb it this year!
Danny's favorite, Seinfeld joke ornament...boys...
And his sock monkey ornament that he has a very strange attachment to...who knows? I don't ask...
Those are our favorites! Hope you had fun looking at them, we have fun putting them up!

OMG I can't believe you wrote this post. I was just thinking 15 mins ago that tomorrows post was going to be individual pics of my ornaments and the story behind it. Crazy
(Has your package arrived yet?)
FUN! I honestly don't have any sentimental ornaments...isn't that terrible?!?!?!? When we first got married, I went and bought ornaments because we neither one had any. And those have been on our tree every year since. Soooo, I guess those are sentimental. ??? I had thought earlier this year that I wanted to start a better collection that reminded me of things, like your collection.
And, seriously, where did you find the Festivus ornament?!?! I LOVE IT! Mike and I are the biggest Seinfeld fans EVER. EVER. Really...EVER. Even Amelia Kate, before she was even 2 years old mind you, knew who Jerry and George were when they came on the screen. We didn't even teach her that...she just picked it up. Gosh....we are so proud of that child....
I love your ornaments that you shared with us and the stories behind each one! Love the peacock one!
Ha Ha Ha - my husband would go nuts over the Festivus ornament!! So much fun!!
