The best ornament -- hands down.

We've opted to remove all the ornaments from the tree because the smaller elf kept stealing them and scattering them about the house, and the bigger elf helped his lil' buddy take off the ornaments even after Mom moved them all to the top half of the tree. So our tree is sporting a simple motif this year with only the white lights and gold star at the top. That is ... until now.

Today Luke came home from preschool with a nicely wrapped gift. He reported, "It's for my parents." When Dad arrived home from work we opened the present to find an angel ornament. Not just any angel ornament though. It's personalized with Luke's handprints for the wings, footprint for the body, and a photo of his smiling mug. Guess if your tree only has one ornament, you'd better make it a good one!
