People laughed at me when I said I was going to make our own Christmas stockings, but I did it! I was on the hunt for the right stockings to buy but couldn't find any that I really liked. So I decided to make our own stockings, that way I could personalize them a little bit and they would have more meaning. We have a stocking for Daddy and Mommy (which are the same fabric), a big buck one for Brock, and Ella's is the one with the red boa on it. She thought that it was a kitty in the fabric store, so I had to incorporate it somehow in her stocking. We have a stocking for baby #3 and a stocking for Maddux, or if we decide to have another baby down the road (waaaaaaaaaaaaay down the road). All that's missing on them are the name tags, which I should be able to get this week. I had to use my mom's sewing machine that is 30+ years old, and it worked like a champ. I keep teasing Chad about making him some cool clothes and undies to wear, but I think deep down he knows that I'm not joking. Hee hee!
