Last year we started our tradition where we take the first Monday in December and have FHE about Christmas and then we go out and each pick and ornament, label it with our name and the year and hang it on the tree. I believe in last years post I ended with something like, "better luck next year!"
Unfortunately our luck was no better this year. 2nd year in a row the ornament was broken before we got out of the store. The boys were both VERY decisive when we got there. Jack got a power ranger and Ivan got spider man. 2 seconds later Ivan dropped his and the head and foot broke off. When we got home Jack cried about having to put it on the tree. He wanted the hanging string off. So I guess now it's a toy
Better luck next year!
We have had the exact same problems. Last year we took a Yoshi toy and stuck a hook in the head and used that. It was much more durable and way cheaper! So we have decided to do that every year- buy a toy that they like and turn it into an ornament.
