My tree is filled with gewgaw. It's the most chaotic thing in my house at the time. I like a tree that has so many ornaments your eyes just can't help but wander around and around as they skip from one story to the next. Every ornament has a story. I love a tree full of stories.

| My wishing ornament. Every year I write a wish that I'd like to come true by the next Christmas. I fold it up tuck it away in this ornament and wish with all my might as I hang it atop the tree. And when the next year rolls around I love to read my wish from the year past. The past 2 years have come true... let's hope for lucky year #3 |

| Birth-Grandma Gift Layla's birth-Grandma sent her this darling baby last year. This ornament must have been made just for her. Could it look any more like Buca? |
 |
| 2008 - Retro Rattle I retro-purchased this little rattle. Everyone needs a "Parent's to Be" ornament. I didn't know I was going to be a parent until after it really happened, so I bought it last year. Shh, don't tell |
 |
| My little snowflake. This ornament reminded me of a picture I have of Layla seeing her first snow in this life. She loved sitting in the front window and falling asleep while watching the flakes fall like feathers from the sky. |
 |
| 2009 - Baby's 1st I made this ornament last year and sent one to each of Lady's Birth-Parents. It has a little snow and a slip of paper inside with Layla's name and birthday on it. |
 |
| 2010- Comfort and Joy This years ornament says it in a nutshell. A little snow globe with another Layla lookalike. She's sipping hot coa-coa, total daddy's girl. And it reads "Comfort and Joy." This year was Comforting as we finalized our adoption and experienced the joy of being sealed for Eternity. |

| Color - I love a splash of color |
 |
| Dasher - The first year Kday and I were married, we had 4 ornaments on our tree. Total. This was one of them. Meant to be a gift tag - but too cute to pass up for an ornament. He's as dashing as Kday. |

| My Mr It wouldn't be a "Day Family" tree without a bike of some sort. One of my absolute fave's. |
 |
| Disco A tree wouldn't be a party without a little Disco. What's your favorite ornament? |
