The stockings were hung by the chimney with care

'Open a special Christmas present'
Advent Calendar Day Two


This picture was taken while Griffin was still napping so of course I had to take another one after he woke up!



The kids were really excited about this one. What could the present be? Jack and Ryan kept talking about how they hoped it was a Ninentdo Wii with Guitar Hero. I tried to remind them that it wasn't actually Christmas morning yet...but just a fun Christmas present to open. I think they were still excited to get new Christmas stockings even if it didn't compare to some great video gaming system.


Gavin has wanted Christmas stockings with all of our names on them for many years. So I finally found some that I thought were cute and decided to order them. After I got them all hung up on the fireplace mantel, I realized it is going to be quite tight next year with 8 stockings! :) It is so fun to see all those names hanging on our mantel and know that that is my big family. I love my children and husband so very much! I am so lucky!
