Our Stockings

We are finally back from Utah!  It was a crazy long trip, and so fun.  I have a lot of fun pictures to show from Christmas, but apparently they are all on Derrick's laptop... with him at school.  I do have these ones to show from a project I am pretty proud of though.  I finally made our Christmas stockings!  We actually got Hayden's name out of the pattern book when I was pregnant with him, so I'm not exaggerating when I say it took four years to make these babies.  You notice Derrick's is bigger than the rest.  Well his dad has a really big stocking, and so Derrick wanted his to be bigger too, now that he's the dad.  I don't mind, but Santa has to get creative to fill the whole thing up.  It really was a miracle I finished these by the time we had to leave because my machine was having so many issues.  I'm so glad it's done and I love how they turned out!



But of course, my work is never finished.
I just have to make another one for next year!

Okay...so are announcing that you're pregnant? :)ha ha..

I love your stockings. Nice job Erin!

I enjoyed reading all of your updates. You are a busy fun family. I love the story about catching Halle and Hayden cutting bread in Hayden's room. That would have given my heart a start too.

P.S. on the stockings...I don't know how big they actually are, but you could try what my mom did. Our stockings are HUGE so we always get a fruit in the toe, then a two-liter bottle of pop. Then there is only a little room left at the top for candy and small presents. :)
