Chris' family has a tradition. Every Christmas, they put an ornament on the tree that represents something that has happened to their family that year. Ornaments range from a little drummer boy from when Chris was born, to a lawn mower for when Chris and Tim spent a summer at their favorite job ;) (hi tim!)
Last night, Lynn had us over for a yummy dinner. If you've never had cheesy corn, try it. Anyways, after dinner Lynn had us decorate the Christmas tree. I had so much fun getting to see all the different ornaments from year to year. When Chris and I finished, we were so dang proud of our work that I wished I had my camera so that I could take a snap shot.
And that wish came true. Except this camera can't take pictures. It does flash though, and it's fun size like me. This years ornament is a camera to represent myself because next year, I will officially be part of the Allen Family. I was so happy and so excited for my ornament on the tree, but even happier and more excited to become part of such a great family. Love you guys!
I didn't have my camera last night, so I used my iPhone to take the following photo.
I love my ornament. Thank You Lynn!
Happy Friday!

that's so cute! we have a similar tradition in my family - my sisters and I get one ornament a year and we write the year on the ornament. it started in 1989. then, when we get married, my dad is going to give us our ornaments for our first tree.
i think i'm getting that same ornament this year!!! omg -- we're photographers! i LOVE it.
