"First Christmas" Ornaments

Besides having an amazing first Christmas with my husband and being married, it was extra fun getting some really sweet ornaments from our friends this year.

Molly and I decided to start our own Christmas tradition this year and give each other an ornament each year. Molly got us this adorable "Our 1st Christmas Together" ornament for our tree:
Chris's cousin got us this wedding cake "First Christmas Together" ornament. It's actually a bell, and there are two rings hanging inside to ring it, very cute!
This ornament we got from Mike and Kerry. Not only is it personalized with our names and our initial, but it has three lines from our first dance song Steady As We Go, and includes our wedding date. Such a sweet surprise!
Then there's Zoey's First Christmas ornament which we made on Christmas Eve, with an imprint of her paw! Yes...we're "those" people:

Did you get any great ornaments for your first Christmas together?

I love your ornaments, including Zoey's! I was actually kind of disappointed-- no one got us any of the cute 'first Christmas together' ornaments! We bought an ornament on our Disney honeymoon, and though it doesn't say anything about that, we'll hopefully remember that's what it signifies haha!

Aww they are all so cute! I love Zoey's too. If my cats would let us do that we would! My fiancé's Mom made us a christmas ornament with our wedding date and a bride and groom turtle, I am a turtle collector, and she also gave us a bride and groom bear ornament. I'm hoping for more next Christmas when we are actually married :)

Those are so cute! My mother in law got us this cute reindeer family ornament. It is the 3 reindeer one, and where there should be a name for a kid, it says our dogs name.
We're "those" people, too.

Very cute ornaments!! I've been trying to get at least one new ornament every year and this year my mom gave us a bunch signifying the big milestones like buying a house and having a baby. So fun!
