PIP Your favorite ornament(s)
My tree is definitely a hodge podge and although there are a few cheap ornaments that match my red and silver "theme" I also have a few ornaments that are really special to me. Let's see which ornaments are everyone's favorites!

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
Re: PIP Your favorite ornament(s)
The ornament I bought our first married Christmas
The ornament my aunt bought for us that same year
Bought by that same aunt our first year in our house (I edited out our address at the top)
Bought by my dad's girlfriend that same year
Only one I have a pic of is the one I had made on Etsy for DH our first married Christmas. It's a replica of our wedding cake.
I also really like the Baby's First Christmas one I got for Janie last year but I can't find a pic of it online.
ETA: It's basically this same Wedgwood shoe, only the 2010 version!
My favorite ornament is my own baby ornament! It's not even on my tree, it's on my mom's... but she always let us hang our own baby ornaments each year. I remember how we would always try to hang this ornament right in front of a light, so that it would look like there was a nightlight on in the baby's room. It's from 1982, maybe some of you have the same one...
Even though it's not really the same, I was excited that the official Hallmark Keepsake ornament for Natalie's birth year was also a rattle.
The rest of my favorites are from our travels (I always buy an ornament wherever we go) or are nondescript bulbs, etc. that were on my late grandparents' tree.
I also have my baby's first Christmas ornament from 1982, but it's not the same one.
I have mine, though it's 1977. Funny story. My parents always let us hang our own too and one year my Mom, the Mom of 5 kids, goes "wait, now which one of you is 1977...."
I haven't let her live it down
I can't pick a favorite. Every ornament on our tree means something. I have my first, H's first, Alex's first. Then there's our first as a couple, first married, first homeowner, etc.
Also, MIL gave us all the sentimental ornaments from her tree, so we have some old ones H grew up with as well.
