Ornaments for our Christmas tree have been a family tradition since before I can remember. Anywhere that someone travels to, instead of bringing back a t-shirt, we bring back ornaments. I have long loved this tradition and look forward to opening the box of ornaments each year. Decorating the Christmas tree takes longer in my house because I sit and reminisce about each one.
I have taken this tradition and put a little of my own spin on it. Since I have known my husband, I have purchased a personalized ornament for us. Now that we are a family of 4, we have our family ornament tradition. I've even begun buying them for other family members.

Our yearly family ornaments |
While at a craft fair in 2004, I found these adorable handmade, personalized, mini clay ornaments made by Cynde's Minis. Since then, I look to Cynde to buy my family ornaments each year. (Maybe I feel connected to her since she is a former elementary teacher!) Each year Cynde adds a new ornament to her collection. They are all so cute, it's hard to choose!
Cynde's Minis also has clay minis for other holidays as well. And wait until you see the wedding cake toppers...if only I knew about them 9 years ago....
