...because here is my Christmas tree decoration picture overload extravaganza! When I was at my mom's, we decorated her tree -- something she and I LOVE doing every year. She has saved every ornament we've ever made (since pre-school!) and I am so glad that she did. It's so neat to see old pictures and crafts made almost 20 years ago.
This one below is my favorite one. As you can see, it was made in 1989 when I was a mere 4 years old. On the other side is a picture of me taken by one of my "pre-kindergarten" teachers.
My brothers and I always used to argue every year as to who would get to hang up this fortune cookie ornament.
Here are some other oldies: an ornament made of a single egg carton slot (we each have one), your classic macaroni bell, and my favorite of my brother's ornaments -- a seashell with his picture inside. 
And here are some ornaments I made, probably when I was in high school.
I love my mom's tree because it's a one-of-a-kind -- and that's why it's special. I watched Martha Stewart this morning and she featured some homemade ornament ideas that were just gorgeous. I want to make the time to make some. But first, it would help to have a tree. Gotta get on that ASAP!
Here is BB in her holiday onesie and the new hairclip we received from GiddyGiddy. It's not too clear, so I'll have to get a better shot, but it's absolutely adorable!
Anyway, I'm waiting for BB to wake up from her nap so I can take her to run errands with me. Tried to get out of the house a few hours ago, but she just wasn't having it. I finally ordered her winter coat (I'm awful) from L.L. Bean, so that should come in by Monday. Don't know what else to write right now. Stopping. See ya!
