[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most of here do not consider making Christmas ornaments a mother's prerogative, but OP does. We all have our little things, e.g. if my MIL or mom gave my DC a first haircut without my permission, I would be livid, but my cousin did not bat an eye when it happened. She, on the other hand, was pissed when her MIL cooked non-breakfast food for breakfast (WTH, right?).
Anyways, OP, you might just tell your MIL that the experience of making ornaments is deeply special for you, and although you like these ones, you'd prefer something else next time.

I think you're right.  Might be where the disconnect is.  DH and I spent quite a bit of time picking out our kids' first ornaments.  I feel like it makes them less special to have a second version with the year and their names and a horrible picture.  If my kid has an ornament for them each year, I want it to be something that my DH and I pick out and something that is well done.  It's something I enjoy and have looked forward to doing for my kids.[/quote]
