Christmas Stockings

This is the stocking that started it all! My mom made this for me when I was very little. It's the best because the back is made of velour and is VERY stretchy. Santa could fit lots of stuff in it!!
Each stocking my mom made for the kids has something unique to them on it. Some we had to design ourselves, like the trains on Aidan stocking, I drew for mom.
Ben loved watching Gramma making his stocking. He asked her to put his name in green and then wanted colored dots on his, "like Mommy's". My mom designed the "mightly machines" for the little mighty machine lover. He loves this sock. He even wanted to sleep with is when it arrived in the mail this week.
Sam's sock is unique for him too, he has the rocking horse, which my dad made him a real one this summer. All the stockings have santa and snowmen on them in some way. Sam doesn't really know what to expect yet with all the decorations. We are slowly putting things out so that it is not so overwhelming for him and he can (hopefully) learn what he can and can't touch. Who knows we may not have any ornaments on the tree below 3 feet this year!!!
And this is the stocking that I made for Chris the year before we were married. I keep telling him he'll have to get one that matches the rest of ours, but he won't have it, he loves it because I made it - such a good man!!
