Opening stockings together at home.
My Great-Aunt Jackie has been making Christmas stockings for all of the children on my Mom's side since Mom was a little girl. Shirley's came in the mail on December 22. I was SO touched. Here is SJ opening her stocking before we headed to Grandpa and Grandma's house.

The waiting is the hardest part...
Every Christmas, we get a "Special Gift from Dad." Some years, there is a theme, other years they are specially selected for each child. This year, we all got Stormy Kromer wool hats.

Merry Christmas to you all, my blogfriends. You mean so very much to me. As we give eachother gifts this weekend, let's please remember the REASON we give gifts at all: to celebrate Christ's birth by which we have been given a new lease on life and the guarantee of eternal life.

Haha! Yeah, SJ looks real excited about her Kromer. :)
How fun, homemade stockings--what a special gift! And how fun to celebrate Christmas with SJ! Baby's first Christmas!
Ha--my dad just got a Stormy Kromer for Christmas from one of the kids in his school! I love the pink one on Shirley Girley.
