Family of 4 Ornaments
Four names can mean parents and children, one parent and three children, four siblings, or the whole household as it looks this Christmas.

Family Ornaments
The people at the table, the dog beneath it, and the names that make this year’s version of the family.
A family changes in ordinary, visible ways. A baby’s name appears. A child writes their own for the first time. The dog moves from a paw print at the edge to a figure in the row. A dated ornament keeps one arrangement without asking it to stand for every year before or after.
Start with who belongs on this one. Four names can sit around a front door or beneath a photograph. Five and six need more deliberate spacing, wider shapes, or two rows. First names work across blended families and several surnames; a shared family name belongs when the household genuinely uses it.
The family extends beyond one household too. Grandparent designs gather the names grandchildren call them. Best-friend ornaments carry an old photograph or private joke to another tree. The right page begins with the relationship, then helps the names, image, material, and year find their place.
