Stockings

Last Christmas, Liesl brought Chris home for the holidays. We had four stockings, so, of course, we needed one more. In order for them all to be similar, I decided to go to the 99 Cent Store to get five. While standing in the store, I had the thought that perhaps Claire might fall in love one of these days, so I should be forward thinking and get six stockings.

It's a good thing I did (and I will take credit for Claire meeting Bryan this summer). Here are our six stockings, hung by the chimney with care.
The reason that the stockings are already bulging is because yesterday was our traditional trip to the 99 Cent Store where we all find something a little crazy for every other person's stocking. Don't let the blue sky in the picture fool you, though. It's been raining like crazy, and we managed to get out during a short dry period in the middle of the day. Look at the wet parking lot in front of the store.

How neat that you all are all "hanging" together, both literally & figuratively for the holidays. That is very special! AND, I'm going to explore the 99 cent store some more. Those stocking are impressive!
