Hello My Dear Family,
I'm finding myself jumping into Christmas already. I'm out christmas shopping for Bekah (SO MUCH FUN!), thinking about crafts, christmas cookies and decorations. I can't help but think about what we are going to be doing as a family this year. I loved, Loved, LOVED the ornament exchange last year. I can't wait to hang the ornaments on our tree and say this was from so-and-so. To me this was the best exchange we've had. That might just be me though. Is this something we want to do again? Maybe from one family to another, instead of sending one to every family? Or do we want to exchange gifts, or homemade gifts? family cards, family videos with holiday greetings? What are your ideas?
Start talking! I'm can't wait to get started on whatever it is that we are going to do....at least I hope we're going to do something. :)
Love you all!!

Ornaments. To everyone. Loved loved loved LOVED it.
I don't care what we do, other than a couple more years of ornaments and we're going to have to get a bigger house to accomadate the bigger tree that would be needed to hang them all. I liked the ornaments and my kids got super excited to see which ones were from who.
I loved the ornaments too, I think we may have missed out on one or two. But it was so fun! I like doing it to everyone.
I don't think you can ever have too many ornaments. I really enjoyed making them last year. So, I'm all for it continuing with this "tradition".
Stacy, you don't even have to move (unless you are trying to find an excuse), just don't hang all the ornaments that you receive each year. You can save them and change them year after year, that way every new Christmas you have a brand new looking tree. You can even have a "theme"... this year you can decorate with the ornaments from your four oldest siblings, then next year with the following four and so on... I know, I'm just saying... LOL!!!
