favorite ornaments

Tonight after putting away the Polly Pockets and trains, I sat in my dining room taking it all in.  Our Christmas tree stands in a corner of the dining room, crooked after the chaos this morning.  My camera was still on the table, so I grabbed it and snapped pictures of my favorite ornaments.  I tend to hate themey trees, but our tree has gotten kind of themey with a lot of colorful candy canes, cupcakes, lollipops, and ribbon candy, as well as the keepsake ornaments and those I've received as gifts.  I thought I would share the photos.

One of the cupcakes.  I love the cupcakes — the sprinkles are the cutest.

Molly's tiny ballerina ornament is my favorite of the kids ornaments.  Ain't she sweet?

This is the only surviving snow globe ornament from the three I purchased three years ago.  Have you ever broken a snow globe?  Broken glass, water, and tiny flecks of fake snow.  Not cool.

And my favorite new ornament, a gift from great friends.  Very cute on my supercute tree.

I hope you've had an especially wonderful Christmas.
