When I went to the antique store with my mom and sisters a couple of weekends ago, I got these stockings. I just loved them! With the addition of Leah, I didn't have enough stockings so when I saw these, and saw the great price I decided to get them.
I hung them by the stairs and so enjoyed looking at them. The reason why? Each stocking represents a child (plus Matt and I)! I am so so so thankful for my children! Even though there are stockings for 6 of my children, I never forget my son that makes 7 children in all. I am thankful for the hope that I have that assures me I will see him someday! Christmas time somehow has a way of bringing out a lot of emotions- sweet and bitter. But it is because of Christmas, because of Jesus that I can have joy and peace. I take comfort in the fact that this life is only tempororay and because I know Jesus as my Savior, I can anticipate with amazing excitement one day spending Christmas day and every day with Devan, Grampy, Nanny and best of all...... Jesus.

I can't wait to meet Devan either. I am sure that his silly and loving Great Grandfather has come up with some sort of goofy yet special name for his great grandson.
