It's Never Too Early For Ornaments!

Every July, Hallmark starts selling their Christmas Ornaments for the year. (But the Dreambook comes out in May, so we can make lists) Me, Mom, Karri, Chris and Grandma Joan are all members of the local Collect 'em All Club and there is a Midnight Premier for the Ornaments. We have been going to the Midnight Premier for at least 10 years and enjoy every minute of it! Last Friday (the 10th) was the anticipated day. Grandma didn't come, but she sent her list with us. But my friend Stefanie came!! She loves the ornaments too, and in past years we have talked about them, and this year I made sure she came! There was food and games (of which we won first place!!!) Then we are able to get our ornaments off the shelf, and waited until midnight to buy them!

Here's Karri with her Frosty Friends Ornament.

(This is a series that she's been collecting forever and it's been going for at least 30+ years, but I'm not sure how many she has.)

Mom & Chris on the hunt!
Inspecting the ornaments is a very important part of the evening.

This is the 4th edition to the Noelville series that I collect. They are all gingerbread houses and they light up! I love 'em!!!!

Waiting to check-out

Thanks Hallmark! We sure love ya!!!!

*FYI: Saturday I made sure I had all my ornaments cataloged, and I have just over 200. And at least 30+ of them are Star Wars! :)
