The stockings were hung by the chimney with care…
In hopes that Miss Leah Destructo would not come near…
Luckily she lost interest before tearing them all down. Not a food related post at all, but I just had to share the stockings that my mother-in-law makes for each family member. Very time intensive but beautiful and such a treasure for our family!
Chrissy Chappell says
Cute picture!! I LOVE the bare feet and the cute stockings 🙂
Robyn says

Hopie says
Wow, amazing stockings! I bet those take a long time and a lot of love to make!
Alison Moore Smith says
ROFL! It has only been the last couple of years that I’ve been *mostly* able to relax about ornaments, decorations, stockings. Of course, one of my snowmen wise men just broke. So, nevermind.
Very cute pics, though. LOVE Christmas!
Di says
Those are lovely! And I love the picture of Leah. =) I think this is the first year I haven’t had clumps of ornaments on my tree–both girls have actually gotten the idea of spreading them out, finally. =P
SMITH BITES says
those are gorgeous Kristen! and i know how much work, sweat and tears go into making them – i have friends who make similar ones. Leah is a hoot and look at those little feetzies!!! but even with her back turned, i can feel the wheels turning . . . ‘how can i get up there . . . hmmmm . . . maybe . . .’ ROFL!!!
Estela @ Weekly Bite says

Wow! Those Christmas stockings are beautiful! So intricate in detail – you probably see something new on each one every time you look at it.
Rhonda says
The stockings are amazing! You can’t get anything like that from the store. I remember when my own Leah (she’s 25 now) couldn’t wait to see if there was anything in her stocking. Thanks for sharing.
Jennifer says
I made Jacob’s stocking for my husband about 10 years ago (pre-kids)! Love it! Good luck keeping them hung 🙂

So sweet! My mom always made our stocking, too. After she died, I TRIED making them for my husband and kiddo. Um, they didn’t exactly work. I did not appreciate those fully.

Classic! Seeing this sort of makes me miss when my kids were really little…..my husband and I would look at each other with a panic and say “where’s the baby!”, CRASH. Fun times! Merry Christmas Kristen, Many Blessing so you and your family! Sheila
