My favorite ornament is a tie between my "Melissa's first Christmas 1984" and my precious moments that my parents got for me when I was born. Each child got one. Mine is a little girl sitting in a bubble bath. One of my siblings broke her head off one year but we fixed her and you can't even tell. I always hang them in the front of the tree at the top.

I would really just like to have some time to relax and spend with Brian. But anything is welcome. :)
