Years ago Mica loved peacocks. I know it's an odd animal for a little boy to love, but he liked their beauty. You wouldn't want them to live by your own home. They eat whatever. They're a scavenger bird really. His eyes lit up when we went to the zoo to see them. He argued with a farmer in preschool that there were in fact peacocks on the farm. Daddy said, "He's right there are peacocks on some farms." Daddy had a neighbor growing up that had peacocks, and other farm animals. I got Mica a Folkmanis Peacock Puppet. It still sits on his bed. I took him loving peacocks as a sign to get peacock inspired ornaments for our tree.
The ornament to the left was made by a friend of ours last year. She didn't know I love the peacock ornaments.
I have a handful of these Russian looking ornaments to. They look like dreidel tops to me. A classic toy.
A lot of people told me I'd never be able to have a pretty tree with having kids. They told me that kids and glass do not mesh. You have to get fun ornaments when you have kids. Knock on wood, only 1 or 2 ornaments have broken. None of them were my favorites. I've had more hangers fall off ornaments than kids breaking them.
Here's an all glass ornament.
We have some fun ornaments to. Most of them are classic toys. Both boys have a yellow submarine.
My Mom loves Hallmark, so we have some Hallmark ornaments.
