My great-grandmother started making these felt stockings for her children a long time ago. Little did she know the tradition she would start! Since then, my grandmother has made them for all of her children, children's spouses, and grandchildren. So when I was born, my grandmother made one for me. Now being married with two kids, my grandmother has passed the torch onto
my mom who has made them for Kyle, Janelle, and Spencer. She just barely finished Spencer's today, and I was so excited to put it up with our other stockings! Didn't she do a fabulous job??? One cool thing about Spencer's stocking is that Kyle's mom sent us this little wooden airplane ornament that they had on their tree for years and years. Kyle remembers it being on their Christmas tree since he was little. So his mom let us have it for Spencer's stocking, and my mom sewed it on. It was the perfect addition, with a little sentimental value to it! I can't say I'm very excited for when it will be my turn to start making the stockings because they are very detailed and take a lot of time, but fortunately I have awhile before that happens! Thanks mom!!!! (And Grandma, who helped a lot with them!)

They look great! I love it. Shane's family has a stocking thing too... I'll have to post when we get Hannah's. I remember those stockings from your house when we were little!
Aw... nice grandma. Aren't traditions fun?
Spencers is so cute, when you have more kids you will have to get a bigger mantle!
Those are really cute! My mom crocheted all of our stockings when we were little. So, two years ago I decided to attempt the whole crocheting thing and I did end up finishing two stockings (for Avary and Mike), but looking at them compared to my mom's, I think maybe I should leave the crocheting up to her :)
