I was super excited when they announced that our Bible Study would be having an ornament exchange during our annual Christmas dinner. The guidelines were to be creative and bring an ornament that said something about yourself and we would give them to one another. So last family night Kelly and I went ornament shopping (that is another long tale) but we only came away with an ornament for Kelly. So I made one, a Canadian flag, out of beads. I thought, hey pretty creative Heidi, but I had no idea there were better more creative ornaments to be had.
So off we went on Monday to the ornament/dinner party. We ate, we talked and then we opened ornaments. I loved mine. Heather made it, it was so beautiful and creative. But, sadly, someone stole it (ahem Theresa) and I ended up with this.
That's right. It's a star with a lovely picture of Mike Caruso, the Filleman's three boys and a Bible. Oh and don't miss the gun and Diamondbacks Logo. (?????) And yes it actually sits on my tree (in the back) but it's on there! I look at it quite frequently and have a good laugh. I am pretty sure that I was not supposed to be the one who ended up with the Mike Star but that is the fun, and scariness of ornament exchanges. By the way Filleman's, I voted for you.

Monday was a lot of fun. I think that ornament is a keeper for future laughs. :)
OK, I am SO glad you put a pic up of the ornament b/c Theresa told me the story and I laughed so hard. Oh, Mark!
That is SO funny!! I do actually feel bad about trading Kelly...I just couldn't resist. :) By the way, those were things that Mark "likes"-hence the D-backs logo, bible and gun. Apparently he likes my husband, too! :)
haha! watch, 20 years from now when noah and grayson are best buds and college roommates you'll treasure that ornament and will be glad you decided to keep it :)
