That's cute!
We've been doing the ornament thing since my mom was a kid... they don't all fit on the tree anymore XD so now we put a garland going up the banister of the stairs, and whatever doesn't get on the tree goes on the banister.
We've got my mom's 38 ornaments, my 16, and my sisters combined 31, plus we get one every year with all of our names on it, so that's another 8 - that's 93!
