Planning for the future....

Every since Lex and I got married I have been searching for Christmas stockings. I never found any I really got excited about until recently. I was under a little more pressure this year because we needed to get Katelyn a stocking for her first Christmas. Since I hadn't found any I really liked, I was going to make them myself. Luckily though, I found these great ones from Pottery Barn Kids. Lex has said since I started searching 4 years ago that once I found some I liked we should get enough for our future family....


Here are the ones for our current family....Mom, Dad & Katelyn....


And here is the entire group for our future family.....


Yes, that is 8 stockings...3 for us now, 2 for our possible future children and 3 extras for their spouses!! Yes, you read correctly - their spouses! Lex really likes the idea of having all the stockings match (even 20+ years from now!!) I love it! Guess we'll be storing them for awhile, unless we some how end up with more than 3 kids :o)

Julie and I know you 2 are secretly planning to have a full team of Aggie football players. Logan can be the 12th man!

Holy cow, y'all are hilarious. Just don't pull them out too early and scare off any potential suitors. lol

Well, now THAT is the most courageous 'early Christmas shopping' I have ever heard of! Let's see...one for a Katelyn spouse and then 4 more....hmmmm, does that mean maybe 2 siblings for Katelyn, OR does Ginobili get one somewhere???? Grammy

That is really funny :) I could never do that...lee and I have had new stockings every year! I like the idea of Brenden always having the same one (I still have the same one at my parents house) but I change my mind all the time on what I want! I guess I will really have to find the perfect ones :)

Y'all are so cute!!! These are the same stockings that we have for our family! We have gotten the kids "First Christmas" stockings each year & then on their second Christmas gotten them a new one. They are the best... and really big. Now you just have to get the super-cute tree skirt to match!:)

This made me smile.
I love the cute stockings that you found and I love that you are planning for the future.

Children are a blessing from the Lord....(and so are their spouses)
