I sort of dropped the ball on getting my girls their "Baby's First Christmas" ornaments. My husband and I both have a couple of them from our childhood, but I forgot to order theirs when I purchased their personalized stockings.
I want them to be personalized as mine is, so I searched for ones that I can add all of their birth stats too.
Here are some of my favorites:
1 2 3 4 5 6
I chose #4 for the girls. I love the cute blocks and these should last for many years (decades hopefully). They should arrive tonight (hopefully) and will be hung on the Christmas tree by tomorrow evening. I really want to let the girls hang them with our help. Great little new tradition.
I also plan to do a DIY Christmas ornament with the girls hospital bracelets and hats. These ones will be extra special because the girls spent 26 (Avery) and 27 (Sutton) days in the NICU. So their hats and bracelets are a little different than the normal ones.
Which ornaments did you chose for your baby's first Christmas?
My son has an ornament from every year of his life so far! Lots of time's we pick them up on our yearly vacations. Love all of these you posted! So cute!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea to pick them up on vacations. We are going to Mexico in April with the girls and it would be a great opportunity to get one. Thanks for sharing.
DeleteOh wow, I didn't know your girls spent time in the NICU! It will be so exciting to help them hang their first ornaments. :)
ReplyDeleteThey did. It was a tough 26/27 days, but it made us stronger. Plus we got a crash course on parenting. They teach you so much there.
DeleteI love the block ornaments that you chose! Those should definitely last a long, long time. I did the hospital hat / bracelet ornaments for both boys. Those two ornaments are two of my very favorites on our tree. :) Thanks for joining in!
ReplyDeleteI did one with my wedding invitation so I thought it would be nice to do it with the girls things. Thanks for hosting the link up!!
DeleteLove the ornament you chose! The girls will love them and they will definitely last a long time. :)
ReplyDeleteI really hope so. I wanted one like mine. It's a silver baby in a bassinet that has all my stats on it. So pretty, but the wood ones will be beautiful too!
DeleteOhh! I love these. I would have had a hard time choosing. The one you picked was perfect. Thanks so much for linking up!
ReplyDeleteIt was very hard to choose. Thank you for hosting the link up!
DeleteOh my goodness, I love all of these! And I would have probably chosen number 4 as well! So so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was a hard choice, but I felt it was the best and most lasting choice.
DeleteThose blocks are so precious! What a great gift idea for my nephew/sister! Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteIt is. You should consider getting them. So personal and cute!
