Since 1993, I have bought an "annual" ornament. Usually something of character to summarize the year we just finished. I have so many "annual" ornaments now, that I have a whole tree dedicated to them! This year, our ornament is a bigger bear, reading "The Night Before Christmas" to a little bear. We chose this one because Nick just loves to read. We read about 3-4 times a day. Sometimes he just picks up books and carries them around. It is amazing to me, and I hope he continues his love for books. I have included a picture of this same time last year (admiring our Winnie The Pooh ornament).
Another Christmas tradition is one that has been going on I think since I was in college, maybe longer than that...I have someone take a picture of me putting the angel on the tree...and the caption is, "Which one is the Angel?" I don't know how this tradition started, but I giggle every time I think about it. We finally finished putting up our 3 trees (don't ask me why...I just love Christmas, okay?) And I get to the put the Angel on the tree. Now I don't know how old this angel is...but let's just say, older than me. My Mom wanted to ditch her, saying, "she's ugly." But to me, this Angel has "character." I can almost guarantee that no one in this city has one like her. She has a toole white dress, and red hair. Just amazing. Anyhow...this year I have a "lil' helper." 
I'll let you decide...WHICH ONE IS THE ANGEL????

(And the pictures comparing last year and this year with you and Nick made me sad... kids grow up so fast.)
