Let the Christmas Preperations Begin
Well it has officaially started...the preps for Christmas have begun and the turkey isn't even in the oven yet! I must admit these aren't the first real preps because I have done a little shopping here and there and we had to buy our plane tickets to go home, but this is big!!! Finally after 5 years of marriage I bought some stockings today. Hooray!!! I have always wanted cute matching stockings for the entire family and I have toyed with the idea of making them but I have never seen anything I am completely in love with so until now we have just had cheap stockings to get by with at our families homes. I was beginning to think we would never have our own wonderful dream stockings, so I have been feeling badly because Caden is getting old enough that the idea of his very own stocking will be so fun. However, after this long of a wait I didn't just want to settle. Wait no longer...thank you Pottery Barn Kids and Aimee, I have found some that are so adorable. We even bought extras for future kids so we can all match (silly I know, but blame the dream I have of the perfect mantel and the perfect matching stockings). So the stockings are on their way but the mantel with have to wait for a couple of years, but we are getting there. I'm so excited for Santa to fill them.

Those stockings are absolutely adorable!
I'm having the same difficulty with stockings. I really want matching stockings for my family, too. But my husband doesn't see what the big deal is.
I love that you bought extras for future children. I had another friend who did that same thing. I think it's really smart thinking.
I have just been thinking the same thing with stockings.I love my stocking that my grandma made us years ago, but it doesn't match any others and I like matching items. I love those stockings some day when I can save up and not let me husband know I think i would have to go with those cute stockings
Those are my same stockings! I ordered them last year and love them. I still need to order another one for this baby but we can't decide on a name yet and I want it to look the same. So as soon as we pick a name I can order another one. I was surprised at how big they are. Santa really had to put a lot in to fill them up!
