this was our first year with a tree, and my parents bought us a bunch of awesome ornaments to get us started. i especially love the mushroom and the peace.  the last two ornaments belong to misha's parents.  they were misha's dad's parents or grandparents or something, and are hand-painted.  they are starting to chip and fade, which i think makes them even more beautiful!  we got to take a few home for our tree, and now i want to make my own hand-painted ornaments next year!
