I have a problem....

On par with my fascinating post last year about my favorite ornaments, I'm posting about the ornaments I acquired this year.  And, I have a problem, this year I bought 10.  In my defense, we went on a huge trip and ornaments are my favorite souvenirs.  It's clutter that you only have to bring out once a year. 

I wanted Paul and Babe ornaments, but they didn't have any, so Sheila found these salt and pepper shakers that I turned into ornaments.  LOVE

I got this one at the Nelson, our local art museum.  The lawn of the museum has these giant shuttle cocks - they're our version of Minneapolis' Spoonbridge and Cherry.  I had to have it- it's quintessentially Kansas City 

This was a gift sent to us my Matt's Aunt Pauline in Michigan

This is my favorite ornament of the year.  It's the one I picked out for Charlie and I spent way too much money on it- but I had to have it.  Sometimes, you just have to splurge.

Okay, so I'm counting that the kids don't read this blog, which I'm pretty sure they don't.  Each year I pick out an ornament for the kids to give as Christmas gifts.  Jonathan Adler had a sale on their ornaments early in the year- I love pretty much anything Jonathan Adler does, so I had to have them.  Should I save them until next year since they already have Michigan ornaments?  No way, I'll never make it that long.  This one is Bridgette's

Whew, done...I went overboard, didn't I.
