Every year I buy the grand kids an ornament for their tree. I take their photo and hopefully someday I can provide them with all the years of ornaments from Grandma and Grandpa in a book. Usually the ornament means something about their year but each year it's getting harder to do. I shopped at many stores and thought their ornaments were ugly and when I'd get to the next store they were uglier than the last. After many stores and many shopping days I finally found the perfect 3 and then the day before Christmas I dropped Mallory's and it broke all over my bedroom floor...... I did manage to find her another one that was more like her anyway.
Elly starts out the photos with her BLUE ornament. I used to buy her pink everything and I finally decided to buy Elly an ornament to match her favorite color. She loved it.
But notice the pink ring on her finger (it's from Grandma, I can't de-pink her totally)
Next up is Garrett-Man, he is all about the dinosaurs. I'm not usually into the cutesy ornaments but Grandpa was shopping with me on this day and he picked this one out, it screamed Garrett at him. I Love the purple glittery feet.
Bringing up the end for this year is Miss Mallory with her crystal sliver ornament. She is our glitzy girl that loves to play in the dirt and get dirty.
I don't normally try to get all 3 in the same photo as it's a lot of work getting them all to sit still and be nice to each other for the 2 minutes but we tried it tonight. Mr Garrett is the card of the bunch, he would do a big grin, I'd snap the camera and he'd run. ALL DONE!! I asked him to be a big boy and hold onto Mallory thinking he might last a little longer..... he held onto her but as before only 1 click of the shutter and he was gone.
I did happen to get a few that were cute and they were all looking.
I loved my day with everyone here, it's a great way to start a new week.
