I told Braden he was kinda like Santa Clause when we went to deliver all of our Holiday packages to the Post Office. We mailed home lots of goodies and I think everyone has received theirs by now.
For the boys and the grandparents I think these were the most treasured gift.
We took clear plastic ornaments, cut our Christmas card picture out and out it inside with some pretty holiday scrapbook paper on the other side that said "Merry Christmas Lewellen Family 2008." The boys gathered sand and little pieces of coral and sea glass from Toguchi Beach to put in. I think we may make this a tradition, making a family Christmas ornament.
Speaking of ornaments, our collection here is starting to grow finally. We had left most of our Christmas decorations at my Mom's house on accident. Not really sure how it got there or why it didn't get packed? I think she kidnapped it!
Thomas has started picking up an ornament from each place he visits, and we let the kids pick out their own ornaments this year. There are some Okinawan themed ornaments I want to get them, maybe next year since it will be our last one here :( I think it will be so much fun 10 years from now to be reminded of all the places we have been and all the things we have done each year as we put up our tree.
Braden made this ornament at school. You can't really tell but it's his handprint. There was a cute little poem attached also.
Our ornament from Alaska, showing the Northern Lights.

Love all your different ornaments and especially the family one! Very nice! I lost most of my ornaments this year (very sad still:( ) but managed to save about 15, at least most of my ornaments from each place we've lived survived :) and you are right it is very nice to be able to look back and remember :)
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
