Every year we try and get the kids a new ornament that has something to do with their year. Either something they like or something they did or something they accomplished. Or maybe it's just something that has to do with their name or something. Our thought is that when they grow up and move out and have their own Christmas tree, we will give them all their ornaments from throughout all the years and it will be a cool representation of their life.
We also try to get a new ornament for the family or for Chris and I, something that reflected our year. This year, it was a no-brainer, we wanted it to have something to do with Ethiopia and/or adoption. We found this ornament on etsy.com and it was perfect!! After I ordered it, I emailed back and forth a little with the person who makes/sells them and it turns out they are adopting from Ethiopia too and are just a little behind us in the process. She is making these ornaments to raise money for their adoption! So cool!

I love it, it so perfectly sums up our year and our feelings right now!
