23 more sleeps until Christmas!

Today's advent activity was to hang our stockings...I LOVE hanging the stockings.  Stockings are a huge tradition in our family, everyone has one that has been made by my Grandma Sinclair.  First thing Christmas morning we do stockings with our moosemilk...just hanging the stockings makes me think of the moosemilk which makes me drool!  Like the title says...23 more sleeps!  Okay back on topic...hanging of the stockings!

Here are the boys from the other side of the gate watching me bring everything up!

 Nate Dogg checking out his stocking

 Lucas the lizard ready to hang his

 Matty Bear playing with his! (and yes he only has one sock on...it is harder and harder every single day to keep their feet covered!)

 L.O.V.E!

Merry Christmas...

So this morning after the boys got up we fed them and threw them in their carseats to head over to Grandma and Grandpa's house...none of us even got out of our pjs!

Here are g-ma and gg-ma with Luc and Matty!Aunty K helping Luc out with his very first stocking!

The Boys Get Their Christmas Stockings!

Stockings have always been my favorite part of Christmas (that and Dad's homemade moosemilk). Everyone in our family has a BEAUTIFUL stocking made by my Grandma. Now that Grandma and Grandpa winter in Phoenix I was a little worried that the boys would not have one for their first Christmas....but Grandma came through and made each of the boys such a special Christmas stocking! Here they are...

Lucas and GG-ma and GG-pa with his stocking.Nathan and GG-ma and GG-pa with his stocking.

Matthew and GG-ma and GG-pa with his stocking.

Here is a close-up of the boys stockings...I never could have guessed last year when I was hanging our two stockings that I would have five to hang this year!!!
