My perfect Christmas tree is one that only has "special" ornaments. The ones that bring back the meaningful, important memories. I always knew we'd have one, but I figured it be years down the road. We'd put the tree up and dig out these fragile, and sometimes tacky, decorations that made of think of "that time in Mexico" or "when Carter first ..." and "that trip we all took to the Dells." I didn't think our tree would be so special to me now, so early on. But as I opened the decoration box, I found the most precious and sentimental ornaments that kinda got me teared up a bit. Here are my Top 510 Favorite Ornaments, and why:
L - "Baby's First Christmas" and Carter pictures had me all in a fit!
R - Andy, me, Shane & Kelsey in our gangster gear at the Dells in 2003.
L - "The Chalupa's" circa 2005, complete with a Daddy and Mommy reindeer and a little Carter-deer!
R - My wedding ornament ... ohhhh
L - Direct from The Hacienda in the Riveria Mya, Mexico, is my little red stocking
R - The coconut-husk angel and Maui golfing Santa, both from sunny, warm Hawaii 
L - Andy and I, skiing in 2002, snuggling and having a ball being dorks!
R - Carter and I, on my 26th birthday with everything to be thankful for
L - My best Christmas gifts ever: Andy and Carter
R - Amid the Y2K computer scare, Andy kept calm!
