New baby tradition suggestions?

I want to start a tradition with Izzy- I was thinking a Hampshire Pewter ornament every year.... Wondering if anyone has any different suggestions?

Re: New baby tradition suggestions?

  • Tom and I were planning on getting Austin an ornament every year and writing his name and the date on it somewhere, that way when he grows up and moves out, he'll have memories that go along with each ornament...
  • we are going to try to make a photo ornament every year. i think snapfish has them?

    my mom got us an ornament every year based on what we were interested in or accomplished (soccer balls, horses, a diploma & graduation cap, a car....) and i love having those to put on my tree now!

    some other people have mentioned buying a new set of pjs for every christmas. my friends also gave me jingle bells last year to start reading polar express every year, and i think they're sending more bells along this year to continue the tradition.

  • We do an ornament each year too.  Last year was a Baby's 1st Christmas, this year I bought one in Disneyworld because we went in April.  Like PP said, it will be an ornament to reflect the year that has past. 

    I also got him and DH special PJs for last Christmas eve.  I washed and wrapped them and then they wore them that night for Christmas morning.  Just a cute idea I had heard somewhere-and kids always need PJs.  I also figure it will make Christmas morning pictures cute in the future once the new baby comes.  (Not that they will be matchy ones)

  • with my 13yo dd i get her a new pair of christmas pjs that she opens every christmas eve this year shes gonna be at her dads and she says to me do i still get my pjs??? i thought it was cute she really enjoys getting them and looks forward to it as for Autumn im not sure yet maybe the same thing or an ornament
  • I think we are going to buy an ornament.  I also bought a book, the Peanuts Christmas based on the cartoon.  I love Snoopy and thought it would be a good tradition to read it every year on Christmas Eve.  We also will continue some other family traditions but Mason is really too young to particpate in those yet!

  • Aside from the ornament and pjs suggestions...

    My mom always got me a sealed box of Topps baseball cards.

    We're getting Anna a "Christmas blanket" with her name embroidered on it.  Each year, she'll get to unpack it and snuggle with it for watching xmas movies and reading stories.

    I also had a music box collection as a child- same thought as a special ornament, but it was a music box pertaining to that year.

    My mom gets me the Swarovski star ornaments now- they're the same stars as the NYC tree.

    GL!
