keepsake ornaments
things are finally starting to wind down after the christmas holidays. let's just say a lot of...interesting...things have been going down/around during this year's festivities. some of which i will be posting about in the coming weeks, others will forever remained buried in the family archives...unless of course is was caught on tape and that's a whole 'nother story. the unfortunate thing this year was that the whole family got sick just around the 25th. the girls did get to enjoy the holiday but while wiping their noses or coughing and only one out of the four grandparents was up to coming over on christmas day. hopefully next year everyone will be in good health at this time of the year. well, one of our day-after-christmas routines is to hit the hallmark stores for the after christmas sales...we pick up cards for next year but what we are really after (well, at least me anyways) are the keepsake ornament series we've been collecting. choujyo has been getting the growing up train series and "my fifth christmas" will be her last in that series. jijyo got her first cat series ornament last year and got "my second christmas" this year. we also noticed last year that hallmark had a sisters series so we started getting those in pairs with the thought that each of the girls would always have their own. last year's sisters were two girls sharing an umbrella (looks like while shopping...sheesh)...this year they are two cats.

Ah, you're lucky that the holidays are already winding down for you. These days are just as busy for me, if not more busy, than before Christmas. =\
I hope everyone is healthy and well next year, and I also hope that everyone is feel better!
