That's a wonderful tradition. It's great that you saved one from every single year--and that you have a newer collection working with your husband. I can just visualize the one with the beanstalks, too. *g*
I don't think I've ever kept an annual tradition like that going, but my most cherished Christmas ornaments are the ones my mom made when I was a few months old, for my first Christmas. They're Styrofoam balls, three different colors, with my name and her name and my dad's name written on them in glue that she sprinkled glitter on. They were all she and my dad could afford at the time. The ornaments (and even the glitter) are still intact, and I put them up every year. Like your Easter eggs, they're not works of art (except that they are! very heartfelt ones) and they're nothing like the pretty store-bought ornaments around them, but I love them most of all.
