Stocking, stockings, stockings!

Mysteriously, our stockings disappeared this year. (I think there is a container of Christmas stuff gone rogue). It was somewhat fortuitous because I wanted to get both boys' stockings to match and since Kevin and mine are gone I was able to get all of them matching with our names embroidered. Even better that that I got free embroidering and shipping! I guess it was meant to be.

The only dilemma was whether to put "Dad" and "Mom" on ours but I decided that someday ouG & H will be gone and I might want to go by my God-given name and call my husband by his :)

Our tree is lit, our halls are decked, and our stockings are hanging in anticipation of the little surprises they will bring on Christmas morn'.
