Christmas with everyone home



It was great having everyone home for Christmas. We took the opportunity to have some more family pictures taken since Cole wasn't born when we took the last ones. I only posted a couple, so let me know if you would like to see any more.

Here are the stockings--all lined up and ready to be opened. The stockings have been a fun part of our family tradition ever since Norm and Liz gave us the first one for Karen many years ago.

I moved the picture down to where you wanted it :)

Wow! I didn't realize that Karen had one of those... I also still have the exact same one! So Karen and mine appear to be the only surviving stockings from that batch that my mom made...

Michael--your mom made most of the stockings in the picture. The year after Keith was born, she made them for Steve, me, and Keith. We have a picture somewhere of all of you under the tree with the stockings. By the time Kent was born, she had lost the pattern, but took mine and made a replica for him. I have tried to find someone willing to make some for Claudia, Scott, Kennedy, and Cole, but so far no one else is talented enough to make them without a pattern.

Right, but that one in the exact center that seems to have more green in it than the others looks exactly like mine... I am assuming that one's Karen's. The others look like a later pattern. My stocking has a cousin, too!
