Christmas stockings!

I'm including a picture of Noah's stocking, since I failed to include it the day before. The Elmo stocking is what I used on Noah, and no he wasn't allowed to eat the candy cane, but I didn't want him to feel left out if he didn't see it on his too, lol. And since I had the extra one anyways, I made Noboru a stocking, I figured he probably never had one before, when he was growing up and he might like one. LOL, and you know, I was right!!! He really was pleasantly surprised getting one. I gave him a pair of socks as one of his stocking stuffers, lol and some yucky dried squid that he loves and some snacks that would make him smile! And I also gave him some American candy and a few other things as well in his stocking. I think I am going to make him a stocking every year from now on now too (along with our boys)!

Christmas was spent nicely at home and we really had a fabulous Christmas. The boys got many gifts and they also got to spend a nice time with mommy and with daddy and have a nice family dinner.

PS: when I went to Guam, they had many Christmas stockings, with many characters. But none were as nice as what I already had. I didn't want to buy a cheapie stocking, just to have something new. Especially since the three, I have already are heirloom quality! So, next year, I will look for some new ones! But, this year with the house and all, I said...ahh forget it, we can rough it with our stockings from the past! LOL. Besides nobody minded one bit! The santa one I used for Branden's stocking this year was actually his "first" stocking from his first Christmas ever! : )

Today, we had a lazy day of sleeping in and tying up some loose ends relating to our move!

Not a stocking in site, lol

Mom, the boys haven't got their stockings yet. Are they still coming? We've gotten everything from Denver already. Maybe California is just slower with the mail. Anyway, no worries. : )

I've got some of Branden's old stockings from his other Christmases I can reuse. I can't find his first years stocking, it maybe at dad's. But, I got his one from when he was two years old, the one you bought him, remember? It was his Elmo stocking. Geeze, he hasn't been into that guy in years, lol. He still likes him, but he just totally outgrew him and it doesn't interest him at all anymore. And last years stocking (his three year old stocking, you also got him) which was the Dr. Seuss, stocking you sent him last year, remember! It's cute, but he ain't into him at all either. LOL.

I'm going to the mall tomorrow and will look around and will try to find some new stockings. Crossing fingers. If, not, I guess I can use the Elmo stocking for Noah, he won't mind, because at that age, babies aren't into having a favorite character yet like the bigger kids do, lol. And I will have to use the Dr. Seuss Cat in the Hat one on Branden, but I think he won't like that at all! Sigh...... ha ha ha. Hoping I can find a Thomas stocking tomorrow. Otherwise it'll just have to be Dr. Seuss again.
