Favorite Ornament

Mrs. Bundy of the Real Housewives of Oklahoma wants to know about our favorite ornaments. In our house Sweetie takes care of the Christmas tree ornaments and does a darn good job it also. All the ornaments have a story behind them and she places them just so. She even allows by Dallas Cowboys star to be on the tree, at a place of here choosing of course.

I decided recently to make my own ornament. You didn’t know that I was a crafty guy did you? I made it from a kit.

Here is the pieces before assembly.

Of course anybody who has had a boy around the house any of the last twenty years immediately recognizes this as Legos. Can anybody guess what it is?

Here is an interim step.

And the final

Sweetie loves snowmen. She tolerated mine in amongst her other snowmen. We didn’t put it on the tree though, even though it is made to do that. You know what happens to Legos when they drop.

Do you have a favorite ornament. Tell us about it and link up with RHOK.

    That is a cute Lego snowman. My grandson is crazy about Legos and it took me several weeks, but I finally found him the Lego Harry Potter set he wanted for Christmas. Now I can relax!

    Nice! I like–but probably a good idea not to hang it on the tree, you wouldn’t want him to fall and crack open his noggin! 😉

    Fun post and I do like your Lego snowman! Legos were a big part of our household in any season when my kids were growing up! This brought back lots of fun memories! Thanks!! Hope your week is going well!

    A very cool ornament indeed and it would look great on the tree. If you put it together with superglue you can drop it off the Grand Canyon and it wouldn’t break. And it would be there every year for your special tree adornment.

    My favourite Christmas tree ornament is an “almost lost it’s sparkle” snowman which I remember putting on the tree when I was a little girl. I am now 76!!!!
    He is still as cute, although with a lot less sparkle, it rubs off over the years but he still remains my ornament of choice.

    What a cute idea! WE buy an ornament for each kids every year and I try to theme it around what they are into that year well my son is into LEGO Star Wars this year and I can’t find an ornament so it looks like I will build one!
